Who loses public health insurance when states pass restrictive omnibus immigration-related laws? The moderating role of county Latino density.
Using comparative interrupted time series methods and a nationally-representative sample of US citizen, Latino children with noncitizen parents from the National Health Interview Survey (2005-2014, n=18,118), this study found that living in counties with higher co-ethnic density placed children at greater risk of losing Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program coverage when their states passed restrictive state omnibus immigrant laws.

Association between marketplace policy and public coverage among Medicaid or Children's Health Insurance Program-eligible children and parents.
This paper examines the association between marketplace policy and public coverage among Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)-eligible children and parents. The study’s results suggest that streamlining Medicaid/CHIP enrollment may have played a substantial role in increased take-up of public coverage.

Using appendicitis to improve estimates of childhood Medicaid participation rates.
This study introduces appendectomy-based participation (ABP) to estimate statewide Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program participation rates using claims by taking advantage of a natural experiment around statewide appendicitis admissions to improve the accuracy of participation rate estimates. The study concluded that using the ABP rate derived from Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) administrative claims is a valid method to estimate statewide public insurance participation rates in children.

After the demonstration: what states sustained after the end of federal grants to improve children's health care quality.
As part of the CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grant Program’s multifaceted evaluation, this study examined the extent to which states sustained key program activities after the demonstration ended. It concluded that as a result of the federal government's investment in this grant program, many demonstration states are in a strong position to extend and spread specific strategies for improving the quality of care for children in Medicaid and CHIP.

Using Medicaid and CHIP claims data to support pediatric quality measurement: lessons from 3 centers of excellence in measure development.
The investigators sought to explore the claims data-related issues relevant to quality measure development for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), illustrating the challenges encountered and solutions developed around 3 distinct performance measure topics: care coordination for children with complex needs, quality of care for high-prevalence conditions, and hospital readmissions. Their three Centers of Excellence in pediatric quality measurement used innovative methods to develop algorithms that use Medicaid claims data to identify children with complex needs; to overcome some shortcomings of existing data for measuring quality of care for common conditions such as otitis media; and to identify readmissions after hospitalizations for lower respiratory infections.
