Education
School districts are partially funded by their students’ average daily attendance (ADA), and students with health insurance are 25% less likely to miss school. In addition to this direct funding impact, students that miss less school are proven to have higher graduation rates.
Despite the overwhelming health, educational, and financial benefit to enrolling uninsured students into a public healthcare programs, hundreds of thousands of children remain uninsured. Why can’t school districts do more to help? A few common reasons:
- Lack of Expertise: Many healthcare programs have eligibility criteria comparable to the US tax code in complexity. Even if a school can afford to bring in an eligibility expert, experts in one type of program may not know about another, and rules and guidelines are changing all the time. An inaccurate eligibility judgment just leads to wasted time and resources;
- Lack of Time: Traditional eligibility interviews can take 45 minutes to an hour or more;
- Application complexities: Each healthcare program has a different set of instructions for applying. Most public health programs mandate numerous forms and proof documents, and everything must be finished correctly in a certain amount of time or the application process starts over.
Overall, the entire process has historically been far too complicated and resource intensive for schools districts to approach successfully, despite the inherent benefits.
