CHIPRA Marks its One-Year Anniversary; Read Dr. Charles Homer's Reflections on a Georgetown University children's health policy blog
February 2010
On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA). CHIP has provided healthcare coverage to millions of children whose parents work full time but do not qualify for Medicaid and cannot afford private insurance.
Further information about CHIPRA can be found here: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/chipra/
NICHQ will offer the following sessions at the Annual Forum for Improving Children's Healthcare about CHIPRA:
- The Core Set of Child Health Quality Measures – the Measures Selected for Inclusion in the Core Set Required by the CHIP Reauthorization Act
- Health Reform, CHIPRA and Child Health Quality
Read NICHQ's President and CEO Dr. Charles Homer's reflections about CHIPRA and its core measures on "Say Ahhh! A Children's Health Policy Blog" by the Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families staff.
