Strategic partnerships for outreach and enrollment: Filling in insurance gaps for Florida's military children and families

J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2018;29(3):930-939. doi: 10.1353/hpu.2018.0069.

Abstract

Military-provided health insurance does not adequately cover children with special needs and children of veterans. Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) can help eliminate insurance gaps, if promoted within the military community. This manuscript describes a Military Outreach Program to educate and reach Florida military families about insurance.
