Financial Access
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.
