CKF Report: The Maze – April 2009
In April 2009, CKF released a report that examines the maze uninsured kids and families must navigate to enroll in Colorado Medicaid and CHP+. Using valuable insight from Coalition members, CKF described the numerous barriers applicants face and options for reform. The report also provided twenty recommendations, based on a review of administrative and policy options and best practices, to guide Colorado’s decision-makers as they work to simplify the path to Medicaid and CHP+ coverage.
