AcademyHealth Stateside - November 2005  (Plain Text Version)

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s State Coverage Initiatives (SCI) program, housed at AcademyHealth, recently added new resources to its Web site, statecoverage.net, to help states better navigate options for expanding health insurance coverage.

One of the most significant improvements is the state coverage matrix, which now provides at-a-glance comparisons and in-depth descriptions of coverage strategies, such as Medicaid and SCHIP waivers, reinsurance, high-risk pools, limited-benefit plans, and group purchasing arrangements. Also included in the matrix are coverage profiles of each state, which offer useful statistics including sources of health insurance coverage and an overview of Medicaid and SCHIP coverage within each state, as well details and analyses of tactics that states have implemented to expand or sustain coverage.

Visit statecoverage.net today to learn more about SCI and how its resources can help your state expand coverage.
