Unique Client Counts for Children with Medicaid Eligibility in Fiscal Year
Data Source: Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Finance.
Footnotes:
N/A: Data not available
Rate calculated by the Colorado Children's Campaign using population estimates from the Colorado State Demography Office for the calendar year for children ages birth through age18. Note that the Medicaid numbers are for the fiscal year.
Also note that the Medicaid estimates for 2009 onward were calculated using
revised population numbers from the Colorado State Demography Office.
Therefore, comparisons across years 2000-2008 and 2009 onward are not
advised.
Important Note:
These numbers do not match official Health Care Policy
and Financing caseload numbers; these numbers are much higher than those
reported in caseload reports. Caseload
reports include the number of clients eligible during any given month by
eligibility categories. The numbers
below include all children with eligibility at any given time during the fiscal
year. Since some clients lose
eligibility and others gain eligibility throughout the year, the numbers below
are much higher than the number of children being served during any one month
during the year. The numbers below also
include children with disabilities included in the Aid to Needy Disabled
category of the caseload reports; these children are not included in the low
income child category of the caseload reports.
