Idaho’s Community Health Centers are Ready for October 1st!
Open enrollment for Idaho’s state-based insurance marketplace, Your Health Idaho, begins on October 1, 2013. This new resource will allow Idahoans to shop, compare, and choose the insurance plan that best fits their individual, family or small business needs. Idaho’s 13 Federally Qualified Health Centers serving Idahoans in 41 communities are poised to provide consumers assistance in navigating the new application and enrollment process. They have also been very busy conducting public education activities to raise awareness about the new, affordable coverage options and provide referrals to other consumer assistance resources when appropriate.
Idaho Primary Care Association is one of seven non-profit organizations selected to participate in Your Health Idaho’s Consumer Connector Program. Through the program, Community Health Center employees have been trained and certified to provide assistance in a fair, accurate, and impartial manner. In Person Assiters will help consumers apply for and enroll in a Qualified Health Plan. They will be able to help consumers compare rates, evaluate benefits, and understand premium assistance and reduced cost-sharing options that consumers may be eligible for.
These specially trained employees are currently available to answer inquiries and general questions from consumers in Idaho; assist with open enrollment questions; explain contractual language, provisions and coverage within the policy; and process and route complaints from consumers about the availability of premium assistance and cost-sharing assistance in the exchange in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. On October 1st, consumers will be able to locate a Community Health Center In Person Assister by zip code on the Your Health Idaho website.
