NIHCM NewsNew Expert Voices: Uninsured and Eligible for CoverageNovember 3rd 2009NIHCM Foundation is pleased to release a new edition of Expert Voices, "Uninsured and Eligible for Coverage: Underlying Causes and Policy Solutions", by Genevieve Kenney, PhD, Senior Fellow, Urban Institute. Policymakers working to reduce the number of persons without health insurance sometimes note the significant number of uninsured who are already eligible for public coverage but not enrolled. In this essay, Dr. Kenney explores reasons behind this phenomenon and describes steps that can be taken to facilitate and encourage enrollment among eligible individuals. She stresses the importance of multi-faceted approaches that promote program awareness, simplify eligibility determination, and automate enrollment and renewal processes. As our country considers expansions in publicly funded coverage, these lessons should be top of mind in order to maximize program enrollment and reach as many uninsured people as possible.
