The Twenty-First Century Enrollment Experience
December 15, 2011; 3:00-4:30 PM
The Affordable Care Act will accelerate the use of technology for families and individuals to apply for, enroll in and retain their Medicaid, CHIP and Exchange-based coverage through robust web-based systems and electronic data matches to verify eligibility. It is critically important that these systems be fast, friendly and easy to use and deliver a first-class customer experience. This webinar will explore a new project that will create the "user experience" -- that is -- Enroll UX 2014. The project will provide federal and state governments with a human-centered user experience (UX) design for eligibility and enrollment systems that will connect families and individuals with coverage. Join us to learn more about the Enroll UX 2014, particularly from the perspective of how the interface may work for community-based organizations providing application assistance. We will also review the significant federal financial support that will help states upgrade and build new Medicaid eligibility systems, as well as the new web portal to all coverage options through the Exchange.

Politics and Policy in Washington: Potential Impacts on Enrollment, Simplification and Coordination of Children’s Coverage
September 13, 2011; 3:00-4:30 PM
As Washington does what it does best – play politics and propose policy – what impacts will there be on children’s coverage? Recent proposed regulations on eligibility and enrollment in Medicaid, CHIP and the Exchanges have significant implications for outreach, simplification and coordination of children’s coverage as we approach 2014. All the while, the nation’s process for addressing the deficit poses threats to these critical insurance affordability programs. Join us for a webinar to hear more about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Friends from the Georgetown Center for Children and Families and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities will discuss how what’s happening in Washington will affect your on-the-ground work in connecting kids to coverage. We’ll also review the Urban Institute’s latest data showing improved participation rates in Medicaid and CHIP based on an updated study from the Urban Institute that proves all your great work at the state and community level is paying off.

Simplification: What's Working in Getting and Keeping Children Covered?
May 17, 2011; 3:00-4:30 PM
This webinar focused on the simplification strategies available to states to get and keep children covered. We learned more about the national picture and which states have adopted various strategies, some of the successes and some of the lessons learned. Speakers from Alabama and Iowa presented on specific strategies that they have employed in their states. Notably, both states have been rewarded for their successes in this area by having received CHIPRA Medicaid performance bonus dollars, with Alabama being awarded over $54 million in one year alone.

Let's Not Forget About CHIPRA!
February 8; 3:00-4:30 PM EST
This webinar included a presentation about the new options states have to improve and expand coverage for children through Medicaid and CHIP through CHIPRA. Special attention was paid to how a state could earn performance bonus dollars for making significant improvements to its Medicaid enrollment through cutting red tape in its CHIP and Medicaid programs. We heard from a Network member in Ohio about their experience in undertaking such efforts and from staff the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services about what they are doing to support states to do more to reach eligible but unenenrolled children.
