Enrollment workshops to help consumers sign-up for insurance
Free in-person enrollment assistance this weekend so uninsured can get covered
CHICAGO, IL - Get Covered America is partnering with Enroll Chicago to connect consumers with health insurance navigators and in-person assisters for a weekend of health insurance workshops on Saturday and Sunday December 7 and 8. The workshops will allow consumers interested in enrolling in a new health care plan through the health insurance Marketplace to get information about the plans available and assistance with the enrollment process.
Enroll America is also teaming up with Alderman Natasha Holmes and certified in-person assisters to help uninsured Chicagoans sign-up for health care. They are hosting a workshop at the Jeffrey Manor Public Library where consumers can get their questions answered; and if they’re ready, can actually sign-up for insurance.
Participants in the workshops will be paired with trained health insurance Marketplace navigators for free, professional help and guidance. In-person assisters will be using Healthcare.gov to walk consumers through the enrollment process. If people are ready to sign-up, they will be able to enroll during the workshop.
The workshops are part of Get Covered America’s “Coverage is Coming” enrollment push. More than 1,000 events are planned across the country to help people get the help and information they need to sign-up for health care. Consumers have until December 23 to sign-up for coverage that begins on January 1.
Get Covered America is a national campaign of Enroll America that is focused on educating consumers about the benefits of health insurance coverage and the new health care options available under the Affordable Care Act. Our grassroots team is powered by passionate staff and volunteers with one motivating goal: to give Americans the information they need to choose an affordable health insurance plan that’s right for them and their families.
