View Award Description

Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, Connecting Kids to Coverage Continuation Grant - Descriptive title of applicant’s project: Connecting Kids to Coverage Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreements: MODEL INSURANCE INCREASE PROGRAM FOR MEDICAID AND CHIP: The Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe (FPST) is a federally recognized Tribe of Northern Paiute and Western Shoshone Indians in Churchill County, Nevada and operates the Fallon Tribal Health Center (FTHC). The FTHC is a comprehensive healthcare facility providing medical, dental, optical, behavioral health and other health care to Native Americans in its service area. This service area includes the FPST, as well as two other Tribes, the Lovelock Paiute Tribe and the Yomba Shoshone Tribe as well as other off-Reservation Native Americans in the area. Native Americans in the FTHC service area have similar needs comparable to national data, and they face common challenges and barriers in applying for Medicaid and CHIP. In order to address the challenges and barriers in applying for Medicaid and CHIP, the FTHC utilizes Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved strategies to increase enrollment, reenrollment and renewal. Those strategies include: Presumptive Eligibility and Continuous Eligibility. Administration and execution of the identified strategies is managed by three employees of the FTHC: Patient Registration Supervisor, Benefits Enrollment Coordinator and an Outreach Assistant who focus on one-on-one application assistance. The goal of the project is to enroll at least one hundred and thirty-five (135) uninsured children and parents in Medicaid and CHIP health insurance. Evaluation of the project’s progress toward its goal include: customer satisfaction surveys, application audits, monthly reporting of: 1) the number of individuals who are newly insured; 2) children and parents for whom an application was submitted; 3) children and parents with renewed coverage. Consistent and frequent evaluation reveals necessary improvements, and ultimately, a “MODEL INSURANCE INCREASE PROGRAM FOR MEDICAID AND CHIP” that can be used outside of the FPST for serving eligible Native Americans with health insurance needs.
