Health Insurance Flexibility and Accountability (HIFA) Initiative Goal: reduce number of low-income uninsured Facilitate coverage expansion by: increasing flexibility in Medicaid and SCHIP (e.g., capping enrollment, modifying benefits, raising cost sharing) encouraging premium assistance programs making unspent SCHIP and DSH allotments available

Study States Approved Waivers Pending Waivers District of Columbia THE URBAN INSTITUTE State HIFA Waiver Activity, Spring 2006

THE URBAN INSTITUTE Early Look at HIFA Initiative Examined demonstrations in 10 states motivation/goals key programmatic features: choice of expansion population, use of benefit/cost sharing flexibility, extent of premium assistance looked at early effects on uninsurance rates in AZ and OR Approach: case studies and CPS analysis
