Rev. 22 May 2003Preliminary results. Not for quotation, citation nor further dissemination. Methodology for Predicting the Effect of Changing Eligibility Step I: Estimate multinomial logit model on a sample of adults with eligible children where the adults are also eligible (i.e., 0-100% FPL). Step II: Estimate multinomial logit model on a sample of adults with eligible children where the adults are ineligible (i.e., 100-200% FPL). Step III: Predict with Model I and Model II with the characteristics of the target population (i.e., adults with SCHIP children 100-200% FPL).

Economic-Demographic Analysis of Adult SCHIP Expansion How many additional adults are potentially eligible for free medical assistance under the SCHIP Expansion from 100% to 200% FPL? 35,756 adults based on CPS 1996-2002 Of the newly eligible adults, how many are expected to be enrolled in SCHIP? (Take-Up) 7831 adults based on model estimate CPS 1996-2002 Of the newly enrolled SCHIP beneficiaries, how many are expected to have switched from private to public insurance? (Crowd-Out) 4255 adults based on model estimates CPS 1996-2002 How many adults will become newly insured? 3576 adults based on model estimates CPS 1996-2002

Two models Test Case: Compute a predictive equation on the 0% to 100% FPL population Estimate the distribution of insured among the 100%-200% FPL population using this equation Base Case: Compute a predictive Equation on the entire sample Estimate the distribution of insured among the 100% -200% FPL population

Rev. 22 May 2003Preliminary results. Not for quotation, citation nor further dissemination. Implications for Changing Adult Eligibility From the ideal base case, raising the eligibility floor to 200% FPL brings the Medicaid coverage from 5% to 9.9% The same change in eligibility also raises the percentage of uninsured from 3% to 8.9% 10.8% of the target population will switch from private or other health insurance to Medicaid
22
Rev. 22 May 2003Preliminary results. Not for quotation, citation nor further dissemination. Problematic Issues The whole population model may not be the best indicator of the base case for the 100% to 200% FPL household’s insurance decision The multivariate logistic regression for the 0% to 100% FPL population may identify behavioral patterns unrelated to the policy difference—the zero monetary cost of Medicaid coverage
23
Rev. 22 May 2003Preliminary results. Not for quotation, citation nor further dissemination. Open Questions How can we more cleanly separate the economic decision to acquire a particular health insurance coverage from other motivations or experiences in the target population? Do systematic differences in the underlying surveys lead to different results in the CPS and BRFSS?
