Subsidizing Employer-Sponsored Insurance under State Children's Health Insurance Programs: Working with a Supplemental Carrier
Authors: Laura Tollen, Rick Curtis
October 1999
Many states are interested in developing employer-based insurance subsidy programs (or "premium assistance" programs) under Title XXI—the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP). Under such programs, states would pay to enroll children in available employer-based coverage, rather than enrolling them in the regular S-CHIP. This action would allow states to take advantage of a single source of coverage for children and their parent(s) and reach uninsured children whose parents would prefer this private single coverage source for their children and themselves.
