The Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign invites you to attend the Back-to-School with Medicaid & CHIP: Ensuring Kids are Covered, Vaccinated and Ready to Learn webinar on July 26, 2022, from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. EST.
Children and teens can enroll in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) at any point in the year and many organizations have found the Back-to-School season as an opportune time to connect with families to share enrollment information – especially highlighting key benefits like vaccinations, vision and dental care. It is also an important time to remind Medicaid and CHIP participants about the need to renew their coverage once states resume normal eligibility and enrollment operations upon conclusion of the Public Health Emergency.
This webinar will provide attendees with an in-depth overview of Campaign and partner resources, including a demonstration of InsureKidsNow.gov features, with a focus on resources to promote vaccinations, details on material customization capabilities, and an overview of CMS’s Medicaid and CHIP Continuous Enrollment Unwinding Communications Toolkit to support partners and states in preparing for unwinding of the Public Health Emergency. Additionally, the webinar will feature a current grantee sharing their own experiences and best practices utilizing Campaign resources. Partners and grantees play a crucial role when it comes to connecting children to coverage.
