What the study is about

The primary objective is to identify the barriers contributing to the lack of insurance coverage through NJ Family Care coverage using a brief survey with the parents of children who are treated in the ED and identified as uninsured, and to study the effect of a bedside intervention designed to assist families with the enrollment or re-enrollment process.

Being studied: Navigation through financial systems and linkage to resources

Conditions: Pediatric Uninsured Emergency Visits; Emergencies
