Abstract

Innovative strategies to identify uninsured and underinsured populations are critical to successful enrollment and retention in public health insurance. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Office of Health Insurance Services has partnered with the department's Early Intervention Program to implement a Service Integration Model to enroll special needs children, aged 0 to 3 years, into public health insurance. This model uses data from program databases and staff from children's programs to proactively identify uninsured and underinsured children and facilitate their enrollment into public health insurance. The model overcomes enrollment barriers by using consumer-friendly enrollment materials and one-on-one assistance, and shows the benefits of a comprehensive and collaborative approach to assisting families with enrollment into public health insurance.
