Our Work
On Tuesday, we released our newest publication – Health Insurance Status of Colorado Adults. The brief provides CHI’s latest estimates of adults who were eligible for but not enrolled in Medicaid as of January 1 – the first day of the Medicaid expansion.
CHI analyzes the number of Coloradan who are eligible for Medicaid but not enrolled.
Coloradans covered by Medicaid are more likely to go to the emergency department (ED) than those with other types of insurance, though the rate for Medicaid enrollees has declined in recent years.
CHI analyzed the factors associated with lower insurance rates among Colorado’s Hispanic adult population.
Health policy changes mean that more than 130,000 Coloradans enrolled in Medicaid will gain dental insurance next year – some for the first time. This is good news on the oral health front. But is Colorado ready to meet these additional dental demands?
This analysis delves deeper into the characteristics of the Coloradans who would become eligible for Medicaid.
In this presentation given to legislators, CHI’s Michele Lueck and Jeff Bontrager answer the following questions about Colorado’s Medicaid expansion decision: 1. What’s at stake? 2. How did we get here? 3. What do the studies tell us?
Each year, CHI publishes estimates of the number of kids who are eligible but not enrolled (EBNE) in both Medicaid and the Child Health Plan Plus. The latest estimates, using data from 2011, are available here in three new publications.
Faced with historic Medicaid caseloads and costs, Colorado launched the Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) in 2011 to reform how care is delivered and paid for in the Medicaid program. But has the ACC helped to improve health outcomes and lower costs?
There are nearly nine million individuals in the United States who are enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid--about 70,000 of them in Colorado. These “dual eligibles” are considered some of the highest need and lowest income individuals in the nation and require a large amount of medical attention and assistance.
