23 states receive bonuses for enrolling children in health coverage The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has awarded performance bonuses to 23 states for improving access to children’s health coverage and successfully enrolling eligible children, CMS Acting Administrator Marilyn Tavenner announced today. The performance bonuses are authorized under the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), one of the first pieces of legislation signed into law by President Obama. States qualify for a bonus by implementing procedures to simplify enrollment and renewal to ensure that all eligible children have easier access to coverage under Medicaid and CHIP. They must also exceed targets for enrolling the lowest income children. “States are ensuring more children get the health care they need,” Acting Administrator Tavenner said. “We are proud to reward states that are reducing enrollment barriers and connecting kids to coverage.” This marks the fourth year performance bonuses have been available. The bonuses help states by offsetting the added costs of insuring the lowest income children and encouraging them to adopt sustainable improvements in their children’s health coverage programs. Such improvements include eliminating face-to-face interview requirements so that applications can be filed online or through the mail, using electronic data-matching to reduce paperwork, and making it easier to renew, thereby minimizing disruptions in coverage and necessary treatment. The 23 states awarded performance bonuses include: Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Utah is receiving a performance bonus for the first time; the other states have received bonuses in previous years.

Federal funding for qualifying states is awarded annually in fiscal years 2009 through 2013. To qualify for a performance bonus, states must implement at least five out of eight specific program features aimed at streamlining their enrollment procedures to improve children’s health coverage programs and must increase children’s enrollment in Medicaid above a baseline level for the fiscal year. The eight program features include: oElimination or reduced verification of asset requirements oNo requirement for an in-person interview oSame application and renewal forms for Medicaid and CHIP oAutomatic/administrative renewal (pre-populated form; electronic verification used to streamline renewal) oPresumptive eligibility(allows health care providers and other entities to screen and presumptively enroll children; children have access to needed benefits while the full eligibility process is being completed) oPremium Assistance The amount of a state’s bonus correlates with the increase in Medicaid enrollment: the more children enrolled, the higher the bonus. States that increase enrollment more than 10 percent above their baseline receive a larger (Tier 2) bonus. CHIPRA Performance Bonuses Awarded for FY 2012 CMS is awarding nearly $306 million in FY 2012 performance bonuses to 23 states. Of the 23 states receiving FY 2012 performance bonuses, 22 received awards in FY 2011. Utah is qualifying for a performance bonus for the first time this year. Awards ranged from just under $1.5 million for Idaho to nearly $43 million for Colorado. Enrollment of eligible children grew in all states that are receiving bonuses. Sixteen of the 23 states produced enrollment increases of more than 10 percent above their baselines, earning a larger Tier 2 award. Six of the 23 states earning performance bonuses in 2012 have continued to simplify their programs by adopting more than five of the required program features to improve access for eligible children and achieve administrative efficiencies. These states include: Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, New Mexico and Oregon. Colorado and Kansas added simplifications during 2012. Selected Performance Bonus Highlights Coloradois receiving a performance bonus for the third time, and earned the highest bonus of any state. Although Colorado had already implemented the required five program features, the state continued to streamline its program, adding administrative renewal and Express Lane Eligibility this year, for a total of seven program features. South Carolinaearned its second bonus this year and is augmenting its Express Lane Eligibility procedures. After its early success using SNAP and TANF data to easily renew coverage for children in Medicaid, South Carolina is now using that data to help get newly eligible children enrolled. The state’s early reports show that families are enrolling and quickly signing up for managed care plans. Utah’sperformance bonus is the state’s first. To qualify, the state eliminated its in-person interview requirement, coordinated its application and renewal procedures, adopted administrative renewal and adopted presumptive eligibility. While Utah retains an asset test for some families, it simplified the process by no longer requiring families to submit paper verification of assets they may have. Nation’s Record on Covering Children Advances Studies show that enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP has been driving the nation’s steady progress on increasing the number of children with health insurance coverage. The Urban Institute found that participation rates in Medicaid and CHIP have continued to improve over time. In 2010, 85.8 percent of eligible children were enrolled, an increase from 84.3 percent in 2009 and 81.7 percent in 2008. As a result of the strong and improving participation rate, the number of children eligible for Medicaid and CHIP but not enrolled has declined from nearly 5 million in 2008 to 4.4 million in 2010.

My Website
In this day and age of Advertising we don't always know what is real and what is not real. What sites are bogus sites and what sites are offering you, the public, the real thing. I am here to tell you that whatever I put on my website is the real thing. In this day and age of fakes and phoney's, it all has a tendency to drive me crazy...or in other words, place a space of distrust within me about things. You will find that anything I post, I do it to try to "inform" the public and those who may not be "aware" of what is offered to them by certain agencies. If you try any of my postings, when there is a link, or you look the information up, you will find that it will always follow true. If at anytime you find something that is not true, which you will not find unless I myself have been lied to, then contact me and I will check it out for you and get to the bottom line and the truth. I appreciate any acknowlegement you, the public, may give me because like yourself I am only one small individual with a small business, honest heart, and have kept my business a float "without" the help and knowledge of any "government" agency (except the I.R.S. of course, ha). President Obama said small business' had someone else to be grateful to for their business? I say, baloney. I am a small business, way too small for them I suppose, but then that is ok. At least I can "honestly" say I am a small business with no help from the government, just help from ordinary people like you and me....real people with a real purpose. God Bless and may you have a Very Merry Christmas! Diane C. Kennedy - Owner Diane's Medical Billing ...read more
