Abstract

The adoption of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in 1997 spurred widespread efforts to simplify and revitalize Medicaid coverage for children. To an extent often not recognized, these Medicaid improvements were a key factor behind much of the progress that has been made in covering low-income children: These children's uninsurance rate dropped from 22.3 percent in 1997 to 14.9 percent in 2005, and more than 70 percent of those gains can be attributed to Medicaid. The program, however, faces a number of issues that will need to be addressed if the country is to continue to make progress.

  • Two previous audit studies of pediatric specialty care had sampling weaknesses that may have biased their results.

    “However, both studies investigated only one specialty type (orthopedics), and both had weaknesses in their sampling strategies that may have biased their results, including failure to exclude ineligible providers, 7 sampling at the physician level rather than the clinic level (i.e., possibly calling the same clinic multiple times), 7 and the exclusion of physicians practicing at tertiary pediatric”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
