  34. Dual Enrollment Initiation of this QI Project Pregnant women are seen as priority populations for the WIC Supplemental Nutrition Program.

  35. Dual Enrollment • Initiation of QI Project Pregnant women were attending the walk-in hours for benefitting, where they could have their applications completed for public insurance, termed Medically Presumed Eligible (MPE).

  36. Dual Enrollment • Initiation of the Project • The Benefitting (MPE) services and the WIC services were in two different departments of the Health Department • When pregnant women completed MPE first, they needed to return for WIC.

  37. Dual Enrollment As Walk-In 1. MPE Application only 2. WIC Appointment if requested Second trip required Delay in entry to services By Appointment 1. WIC Certification and 2. MPE Application

  38. Dual Enrollment Initial data collection demonstrated that some clients: • Received MPE without WIC. • Had delay in WIC enrollment • Had a greater chance of refusal.

  39. Dual Enrollment AIM STATEMENT By July 31, 2013, the DuPage County Health Department will implement a benefitting process that results in a 10% increase in the number of pregnant women who are dually enrolled in MPE/ Medicaid public insurance program and the WIC Nutrition Program.
