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.
