The Role of Children's Coverage Programs in a Changing Health Care Landscape: EPSDT, CHIP, and Health Care Reform
With the support of The Commonwealth Fund and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, in late 2010 NASHP convened an invitational leadership forum on the role of children’s coverage programs in a changing health care landscape. Participants included representatives from state Medicaid EPSDT and CHIP programs, Maternal and Child Health Title V, CMS and other children's health care experts. This brief captures the themes and explores the opportunities and challenges identified in that meeting to lay out a vision for how EPSDT and CHIP can work together to improve health coverage for children in the context of health care reform.
