Connecting Kids to Coverage Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreements Focused on Increasing Enrollment of American Indian/Alaska Native Children - The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe of the Fallon Reservation and Colony (Tribe) is a federally recognized tribe of Northern Paiute and Western Shoshone Indians in Churchill County, Nevada. Their antonym is "Toi Ticutta" meaning "Cattail Eaters". The Tribe has determined a great need for increasing the participation of eligible AI/AN patients in Medicaid and CHIP insurance coverage with the project focus to reach three rural Nevada communities, the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, the Lovelock Paiute Tribe, and the Yomba Shoshone Tribe. Native Americans are disadvantaged in health in part because of their limited access to health insurance, their lower incomes and poverty, and decreased access to health care. Having a place where one usually goes for medical care provides an important connection to the health system. Health insurance coverage increases the chances of having a "medical home" --- improving access to prevention screening, medical care for acute illnesses, and ongoing care for chronic health conditions. More than a third of uninsured American Indians and Alaska Native (35%) report that they do not have a usual source of care, more than three times the proportion of those who have some form of health insurance coverage or have access to medical care. The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe is requesting $198,610 in federal funding for a three-year project to increase Medicaid and CHIP enrollment for uninsured patients. The funding will be used to hire a part-time Outreach Assistant that will be responsible for identifying qualified health plan eligibility by gathering information, interviewing clients, family or authorized representatives, and obtaining collateral sources, assisting with the identification and certification of new service providers, and assisting families with reenrollment once clients are discharged from federal and state programs. The proposed project has one primary goal for the three-year project period: Goal One: Throughout the three-year project period, enroll 150 uninsured children and adults in Medicaid and CHIP health insurance Objective 1: Form partnerships with four community-based tribal organizations that specifically serve children and adults in the three service areas Objective 2: Engage tribal community organizations in promoting Medicaid and CHIP health insurance coverage Outcome: To improve health care options for Native Americans through Medicaid and CHIP health insurance coverage . The three-year project will be a win-win effort for the three Tribes, their members, and a boost in health care services not currently being received which will lead to a better quality of life for our people.
