title: Uninsured children: an untapped revenue source?
abstract: Simple procedures and staff changes can yield new benefits to your department and hospital's bottom line. Simply handing out application forms can increase child enrollment by approximately 14%. Hiring a new, dedicated worker to enroll children will pay for itself many times over. Once children are enrolled, financial benefits grow over time with each return visit to your ED.
