Reaching Eligible But Uninsured Children
Strategy 3: Conduct Community Outreach EffortsThere are a number of outreach activities a state can undertake to reach eligible but uninsured children. These include media campaigns, establishing toll-free numbers for families to call to request information, and working with community-based organizations to get the word out. While data are limited on what is the most effective type of outreach activity, state experiences show that a successful model includes one-on-one contact or assistance with families. States have implemented such measures through grants provided to community-based organizations or payments to application “assistors”. This is a particularly critical avenue for reaching those harder-to-reach families who may speak a foreign language or have limited literacy.See:
