What happens if the family does not have any health insurance and is not enrolled in Medicaid?
Service coordinators are responsible for assisting parents in identifying and applying for health insurance benefits for which the family may be eligible, including: • Medicaid. • Child Health Plus B. • Social Security Disability Income for purposes of Medicaid. Documentation must be maintained in the child’s file to confirm these efforts have been made. It is important to note that any direct contact time a service coordinator spends with either a parent or professional related to accessing and enrolling in these programs is considered to be a reimbursable service coordination service by the Early Intervention Program. It is important for initial service coordinators to be familiar with facilitated enrollment programs for Medicaid/Child Health Plus. Appendix B includes a comprehensive list of facilitated enrollment sites.
