2002 SCI Policy Planning Grant
Awarded to: Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH)
This grant is being used to develop a logic model of policy options in partnership with the Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) at Georgia State University. The activities will build off of the state's HRSA State Planning Grant data collection activities and use additional data to reinforce the estimates calculated for the logic model.
One part of the project is to learn whether the dollars used in PeachCare for Kids, the state's Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) program, might provide greater avenues for coverage if modifications to the program were made. The analysis will provide policymakers with information about the feasibility and implications of a premium support program, under which PeachCare dollars would be used to purchase employment-based coverage for children rather than provide direct care through PeachCare. GHPC has been analyzing data to estimate access to coverage among eligible beneficiaries, the required contribution for family coverage, and the take-up rate by coverage category.
