Transcript: An Overview of the Consumer Protections and Coverage Options in the Affordable Care Act
This joint webinar between the Catalyst Center and the National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health took place on Tuesday, January 14, 2014.
Medicaid/CHIP Interactive Worksheets
The Catalyst Center created two interactive worksheets for Title V program staff, family leaders, and other stakeholders. These worksheets provide an overview of Title V, and Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Each worksheet includes resources you can use to find and insert state-specific information to help demonstrate the importance of Title V, Medicaid and CHIP for children with special health care needs (CSHCN). The worksheets were created as companion materials to the Catalyst Center’s Public Insurance Programs and Children with Special Health Care Needs: A Tutorial on the Basics of Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Second Edition: Breaking the Link Between Special Health Care Needs and Financial Hardship
Having health insurance doesn’t automatically protect families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) from financial hardship. In the first edition of Breaking the Link, produced in 2009, the Catalyst Center identified three pathways that lead to financial hardship and medical debt, with examples from the lives of real families. In the second edition, produced in 2017, we revisit the impact that health care financing and coverage gaps have on the lives of real families and highlight innovative policy solutions that can improve the system of care for CYSHCN.
Slides from the accompanying webinar that took place on April 26, 2017 are also available.
Webinar Slides: The Role of Title V Programs and Value-Based Purchasing for Children and Youth With Special Health Care Needs
On December 6, 2017, the Catalyst Center and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) co-hosted a webinar on state-based innovations that support value-based purchasing (VBP) for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). Presentations from the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP), and the state Title V programs in Oregon and Colorado helped to define the role of Title V programs in relation to value-based purchasing arrangements, discussed specific program examples and shared lessons learned. A YouTube video of the webinar, as well as the slides, are available below.
For further learning about VBP we have links to related reading material from the Catalyst Center:
- The Catalyst Center and the AAP produced a special supplement to Pediatrics on VBP and value-based insurance design (VBID) and their potential implications for CYSHCN. Read the supplement, available free of charge.
- The Catalyst Center produced A Primer On Value-Based Strategies For Improving Financing Of Care For Children And Youth With Special Health Care Needs, which focuses on opportunities to increase value in spending on health services for CYSHCN through select alternative payment mechanisms and delivery innovations. It also highlights potential roles for Title V and family leaders in these efforts.
- The Affordable Care Act And Value-Based Purchasing: What’s At Stake For Children With Medical Complexity? is a Catalyst Center product which examines the VBP strategies of (1) pay-for-performance (P4P); (2) accountable care organizations (ACOs), and (3) bundled payments. These strategies are geared towards achieving value by reducing costs while improving quality based on a predetermined set of performance standards.
