Full Title: Number of clients enrolled in health insurance, health services, and health benefits programs.
Definition of Key Terms
Enrolled would mean newly enrolled, as a result of grantee activities. Clients may or may not have existing health insurance, or previous use of health services and health benefits programs.
Health insurance: is risk arrangement that assures financial coverage for a defined range of health care services, known as benefits, only if these are required. Coverage is offered to an individual or group in exchange for regular payments (premiums paid regardless of use of benefits) by a licensed third party (not a health care provider) or entity, usually an insurance company or government agency that pays for medical services but does not receive or provide health care services.
How to Calculate Measure/Collect Data
Of the new unduplicated clients counted in measure #2 (delivering information), the number that were ultimately enrolled in a health insurance, health services, or health benefits program. Count each client only once. For example, enrolling a client in health insurance and then enrolling that same client in a health service would count as one client.
