We classify children as being of low, medium, or high illness severity.<h4>Principal findings</h4>A dollar increase in the per-child premium is associated with a slight increase in a typical child's monthly probability of exiting coverage from 7.Health services research579-98https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4369223biostudies-literatureEstimating premium sensitivity for children's public health insurance coverage: selection but no death spiral.PMC4369223Ketsche PGZhou MAdams EKMarton JSnyder AfalseEstimating premium sensitivity for children's public health insurance coverage: selection but no death spiral.<h4>Objective</h4>To estimate the effect of premium increases on the probability that near-poor and moderate-income children disenroll from public coverage.<h4>Data sources</h4>Enrollment, eligibility, and claims data for Georgia's PeachCare for Kids(™) (CHIP) program for multiple years.<h4>Study design</h4>We exploited policy-induced variation in premiums generated by cross-sectional differences and changes over time in enrollee age, family size, and income to estimate the duration of enrollment as a function of the effective (per child) premium.
