Medicaid Program and Children's Health Insurance Program; Model of Interstate Coordinated Enrollment and Coverage Process for Low-Income Children

This notice requests comments to assist in the development of a model process for the coordination of enrollment, retention, and coverage for low-income Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program eligible children as required under the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) of 2009. CHIPRA requires this model process to be developed by August 4, 2010 and the Secretary is required to submit a Report to Congress describing additional steps or authority needed to make further improvements to coordinate the enrollment, retention, and coverage under CHIP and Medicaid of low- income children who frequently change their State of residence.
