BILL NUMBER:S4745B TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to the date of enrollment in the child health insurance plan PURPOSE: To allow families who sign-up and are approved for Child Health Plus prior to or within sixty days of their child's birth, to have coverage take effect the day of birth. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 and 2 amends PHL § 2511, to allow coverage under Child Health Plus to take effect on the date of a child's birth, if application is made prior to or within sixty days of the child's birth and such application has been approved by an approved organization. Section 3: Provides the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Current provisions of the Public Health Law establishing the Child Health Plus (CHP) program allow children to be presumed eligible and temporarily enrolled under CHP, if, based on preliminary information they appear to be meet income eligibility standards. Once enrolled, coverage takes place on the first date of the enrollment period following the date of a presumed eligibility determination; this creates a coverage gap from the point of application that can be 30 days. This bill would correct that situation and provide coverage at the point of eligibility
