Greater Flint Health Coalition - Connecting Kids to Coverage 2025 Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreements - Greater Flint Health Coalition (GFHC) proposes to build upon the success of the current HEALTHY KIDS 2022 Cooperative Agreement in Flint and Genesee County, Michigan and continue our efforts in the following goals: 1) to reduce the number of eligible children not enrolled in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), 2) to improve the retention of eligible children enrolled in Medicaid / CHIP, 3) to improve parent application, enrollment, and renewal in health care coverage programs, and 4) to improve pregnant women application and enrollment of Medicaid and CHIP. Our proposed target population is Flint & Genesee County uninsured and insured Medicaid/ CHIP eligible children, parents, and pregnant women. Additionally, our target population will include children ages 0-21 and pregnant women with incomes up to 400% of the federal poverty level eligible for the CMS approved Section 1115 demonstration waiver. GFHC will subcontract four local, trusted entities to support enrollment efforts. These organizations include Hamilton Community Health Network, Mott Children’s Health Center, Genesee Health Plan, and the Genesee Intermediate School District. A five-year budget of $2,363,633.00 available under the Connecting Kids to Coverage 2025 Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreement will be used to assist children, families and pregnant women with new applications for Medicaid/CHIP/Flint Waiver as well as support for redeterminations.
