Other Enrollment Data

There are a number of different ways to measure the number of people enrolled in Medicaid and SCHIP and depending on which strategy is used, the results can give quite different impressions of the size of these programs.

"Ever enrolled" data reflect the cumulative count of unduplicated individuals enrolled in Medicaid or SCHIP over a given period of time, including those enrolled for the full time period as well as those enrolled for only part of the time period.
