The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Connecting Kids to Coverage (CKC) HEALTHY KIDS American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) 2023 Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreements Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).  The Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreement program provides funding to reduce the number of AI/AN children who are eligible for, but not enrolled in, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and to improve retention of eligible children who are enrolled in the programs.  Eligibility for this NOFO is limited to applicants who are Indian Health Service providers, Indian tribes, or tribal entities.

This funding will support innovative outreach strategies aimed at:

• increasing the enrollment and retention of eligible AI/AN children, parents, and pregnant individuals in Medicaid and CHIP; 
• emphasizing activities tailored to communities where AI/AN children and families reside; and
• enlisting tribal and other community leaders and tribal health and social services programs that serve eligible AI/AN children and families.
