Another way CDPH is promoting enrollment is by focusing on children and implementing a Medicaid enrollment program. Through the All Kids program, Illinois children (≤18 years old, ≤ 300% poverty) qualify for Medicaid and can receive comprehensive care. Including: physician visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, vision care, dental care and medical devices (e.g. glasses, asthma inhalers). However, up to 50,000 CPS students are still uninsured despite CPS efforts. To reach these children, CDPH issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), which will fund a Lead Organization to coordinate outreach and application completion for at least 5,000 CPS students, which wall lead to enrollment in All Kids. The LO will work with community-based organizations to reach these students. Grant period: October 2013 – September 2015 Funding available: $350,000-$1,050,000
This means that the vast majority of Chicago businesses will be exempt from having to pay a penalty for not providing healthcare.
As part of the ACA, new requirements are in place for non-profit hospitals to continue to be awarded tax-exempt status. These include developing policies on financial assistance and emergency medical care. These policies are required to limit amounts charged to individuals eligible for financial aid and also to stop extraordinary collection actions to these individuals. In addition, non-profit hospitals are not required to conduct a community health needs assessment and adopt an implementation strategy at least once every three years.
CDPH has been involved with several hospitals and their CHNAs: Provided public health data Served on their assessment committees Provided technical assistance/guidance on planning process However, these represent only the minority of hospitals that contacted CDPH outright. Nonetheless, hospitals have identified priority areas in their CHNA. To assist their efforts and ensure funding is spent on effective strategies and programming, CDPH will soon issue a report sharing effective community preventive strategies for the priority areas mentioned in the CHNAs of Chicago non-profit hospitals. This chart shows the hospitals that are required to complete the CHNA. Hospital Community Health Needs Assessments (posted as of September 1, 2013) Ann & Robert H.
