Tutorial: Medicaid and CHIP

Updated Tutorial: Public Insurance Programs and Children with Special Health Care Needs: A Tutorial on the Basics of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Now, more than ever, Title V staff and their partners need to know about Medicaid, so the Catalyst Center has updated Public Insurance Programs and Children with Special Health Care Needs: A Tutorial on the Basics of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).  The tutorial contains 11 topic areas ranging from Building Partnershipsto Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT). Each section describes a component of the Medicaid/CHIP program and a brief description of its regulatory framework. If you haven't perused the tutorial lately, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see we've added the most recent Federal Poverty Levels, revised national health expenditure data, updated statistics about Medicaid expansion, incorporated preliminary data from the National Survey of Children's Health (2016), and revamped resources for the most up-to-date information available.
