March 1, 2010: The SHARE webinar "Using Income Tax Information to Target Medicaid and CHIP Outreach," was broadcast on February 24th, and a recording of the event is now available for viewing on SHARE's website.
The webinar features presentations by David Idala, Director of Medicaid Policy Studies at The Hilltop Institute (University of Maryland, Baltimore County), and Brenda Freshour-Johnston, Outreach Coordinator at the Iowa Department of Human Services. The speakers present results and identify lessons learned from the use of state tax data in Maryland and Iowa to target outreach and enrollment efforts for public insurance programs. Key lessons for future efforts involve inter-agency data-sharing, income measurement, articulation of healthcare questions on tax forms, and the development of enrollment tracking mechanisms.
