Enroll America
Offers Presumptive
Eligibility Toolkit

enroll America has developed a Web-based toolkit to help hospitals start using
presumptive eligibility to quickly enroll consumers in medicaid starting in
2014. With presumptive eligibility, an individual or family can be temporarily
enrolled in medicaid (or cHIP, if applicable) if it appears they are eligible.
enroll America’s toolkit includes information on federal law and regulations,
working with your medicaid agency, starting presumptive eligibility in your
hospital, financing, ensuring ongoing medicaid enrollment, state-specific
information and more. Find the toolkit at www.enrollamerica.org/toolkits/pe/
