Fulfilling the Promise of Coverage CCMU Annual Meeting October 8, 2010 Tricia Brooks
Potential Impact on Coverage in Colorado 115,000 (Source: CO Health Institute) 166,471 – 249,208 (Source: KCMU / Holohan Includes 125,000 likely to enroll in expanded Medicaid funded through the Hospital provider fee) Standard Participation Enhanced Participation 493,900 (Source: Families USA / Lewin) Source data differs for each category, thus different assumptions and methodologies were applied in creating these estimates.
Maximizing Coverage Options • Legally residing immigrants can access subsidies through the exchange but will it be affordable? • CHIPRA provides option to cover legally residing children and pregnant women with enhanced federal match
Boosting Enrollment & Retention • Utilize outreach tools • Refreshed messaging • Community partnerships • Create a paperless system • Streamline policies • Maximize use of technology • Use data effectively • Accelerate 12-month continuous eligibility
Avoiding Trap Doors Behind “No Wrong Door” • Multiple paths to coverage through a system that is: • Simplified • Coordinated • Consumer-friendly • Technology-enabled • Consistent results
Reaching Out and Educating the Public Many people misunderstand or don’t know that coverage is available now or how reform will positively impact them
Maintaining Strong Advocacy and Collaboration • Protect and preserve gains • Advocate for adequate resources to improve programs, systems and processes • Develop effective loopback • Ensure that needs of children and families are well served as key decisions are made and ACA is implemented
