The Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign has recently released a new resource to help bridge the gap between schools and organizations in an effort to enroll eligible children in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Schools have been proven to provide important in-roads to families with children eligible for Medicaid and CHIP. The campaign developed the School-Based Outreach and Enrollment Toolkit to help make that connection.
The Toolkit highlights strategies to integrate enrollment into existing school processes, such as including questions on new student registration forms—and developing sustainable outreach partnerships. Tips and customizable tools for working with different members of the school community (from nurses and social workers to principals and superintendents) are part of the toolkit.
The Toolkit includes template communication tools such as social media posts, newsletter and website copy, and press releases and media advisories.
You can download the toolkit here.
