ED Medicaid Support

The study introduces a bedside intervention assisting families with the enrollment or re-enrollment process through patient direct contact with NJFamily Care and financial departments, using an emergency department (ED)-based navigator tool. The primary objective is to identify the barriers contributing to the lack of insurance coverage through NJ Family Care coverage using a brief survey with the parents of children who are treated in the ED and identified as uninsured, and to study the effect of a bedside intervention designed to assist families with the enrollment or re-enrollment process.
