Connecting Eligible Immigrant Families to Health Coverage and Care: Key Lessons from Outreach and Enrollment Workers

This report draws on the experience of outreach and enrollment workers who serve immigrant communities to identify the role of Medicaid and CHIP for immigrant families, key barriers eligible lawfully residing immigrant families face to enrolling in coverage and accessing care, successful strategies to overcome these barriers, and considerations for health reform. It is based on findings from four focus groups that were conducted during July and August 2011 with outreach workers who serve immigrant communities in California, the District of Columbia, and Florida.
