Kaiser Brief Examines Medicaid’s Role for Children with Special Health Care Needs

February 26, 2018 by NDNRC

A new issue brief from the Kaiser Family Foundation examines the role Medicaid plays in providing care for children with special health care needs. The brief is entitled “Medicaid’s Role for Children with Special Health Care Needs: A Look at Eligibility, Services, and Spending.” According to the brief, there were 14.2 million children with special health care needs in 2016 and 48% of them received coverage through Medicaid/CHIP. The brief also includes a state-by-state breakdown showing how many children with special health care needs live in each state and what percentage rely on Medicaid for their coverage.

If you’re interested in learning more about providing enrollment assistance to a family who has a child with special health care needs, check out our fact sheet entitled “What to Know When Assisting a Consumer who has a Child or Youth with Special Health Care Needs.”
