View Award Description

CKC Connecting Kids to Health Insurance in Bexar County - University Health (San Antonio, TX) is a nationally recognized academic health system and network of more than two dozen primary care, specialty, preventive and school-based health centers. As a Level 1 Trauma Center and leader in our community, we are dedicated to serving our community and meeting their needs through a variety of outreach and education programs. Our goal for the Connecting Kids to Coverage (CKC) program is to increase enrollment of eligible children and pregnant women in Medicaid or CHIP. We will accomplish this by collaborating with community organizations and schools to bring awareness and increase knowledge of Medicaid, CHIP, and other health insurance options to uninsured residents. We will continue our efforts to retain children in Medicaid or CHIP by providing Medicaid/CHIP application assistance and providing enrollment messaging year-round. Through our previous CKC program implementation, we gained invaluable experience and regularly surpassed our enrollment goals. We will continue to serve Bexar County and the counties immediately surrounding Bexar County. We will also continue to utilize the virtual options that were developed during pandemic peaks, and maintain our successful collaborations with school districts, community organizations and the San Antonio Food Bank, to reach and enroll families. Overall, project goals are to reach, educate, enroll, and retain children and pregnant women of Bexar County and immediate surrounding counties in Medicaid, CHIP, or other health care coverage. The total budget to implement this project is $3,000,000. We will use grant funds for staffing and appropriate training to ensure staff provide exceptional application assistance. Staff will attend health fairs, open houses, and community events; coordinate informational sessions and enrollment fairs; provide outreach and conduct workshops in person or virtually, to promote the program and be available to educate families about coverage. Staff will provide enrollment assistance and work closely with families until the application receives final resolution. The funds will also be used to promote enrollment activities through local marketing including flyers, posters and event ads.
