KCHIP Enrollment Performance 2006 Woodford

Medicaid and KCHIP Enrollment 117

About the Indicator: Counties were ranked (from 1 to 120) according to the percentage of public school students enrolled in free and reduced lunch program.  This data is considered a proxy for the number of low-income and potentially KCHIP-eligible children in a county.

Counties were subsequently ranked (from 1 to 120) according to the percentage of children enrolled in KCHIP or Medicaid.

While the two measures are not directly comparable (school lunch data does not provide information on children too young to attend school, for example), counties with large variations in these two rankings (>10 places) may want to explore their program enrollment to ensure that children in need are not being missed.
