To diminish the financial barriers that limit
adolescents' access to health care, the Center focuses on laws and policies
to ensure that adolescents are eligible for and enroll in Medicaid and the
State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), that the programs cover
the full range of services adolescents need, and that the adolescents
actually receive the services. The Center also has a particular interest in
strategies to promote the sustainability and financial viability of safety
net providers and sites that serve adolescents.
