What plans are state health reform administrators making for non-intact families where the noncustodial parent lives in another state? Can the out-of-state parent (possibly fulfilling court-ordered medical support obligation) purchase child-only coverage on your exchange? Are IT staff building systems programming to allow this? Is there CMS guidance that speaks to this scenario?

In the August issue of Health Affairs, Stephen Patrick, Hwajung Choi and Matthew Davis report on their attempt to determine how differences in the federal matching rate for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program impact public health insurance coverage. They found that a ten-percentage-point increase in the federal match was associated with a 1.9 percent increase in enrollment, or about 500,000 children. They conclude that this underscores the “central role of the federal match” in supporting expansion of public coverage for children.
