Basics of E-enrollment and express lane eligibility
Health information technology (HIT) provides many opportunities to
reach eligible but uninsured children, enroll them, and maintain
continuous coverage more simply, efficiently, and effectively.
E-Enrollment refers to the use of technology and data-sharing
capabilities to streamline the enrollment of eligible children into
state health insurance programs (Medicaid and SCHIP) and to facilitate
the renewal process. E-Enrollment strategies include:
- Online application and renewal opportunities;
- Cross-program data sharing to facilitate eligibility and renewal
determinations as well as verification;
- Automated processing, reporting, and tracking;
- Express Lane Eligibility (ELE) - SCHIP Reauthorization (H.R. 2 -
2009) authorizes Medicaid and SCHIP agencies to borrow specific
eligibility findings from other public need-based programs rather than
having to re-gather and re-analyze data according to their own
rules.
E-Enrollment modernizes the administration of Medicaid and SCHIP --
improving efficiency and reducing the administrative burdens of the
enrollment and renewal processes -- while also providing greater
accountability.
