Tip: Dual coverage is an option in states which permit privately insured families to enroll their children in Medicaid in order to receive supplemental coverage, sometimes known as “wrap-around” coverage. This type of secondary Medicaid enrollment may be offered free or through the payment of premiums based on a sliding scale. Dual coverage helps address underinsurance, which is a significant problem for many privately insured CYSHCN whose coverage is too limited to meet their health needs.
