Provider Health Insurance Marketplace Toolkit Now Available at HRSA.gov/AffordableCareAct/Toolkit Today HRSA launched the Provider Marketplace Toolkit at HRSA.gov/AffordableCareAct/Toolkit, a one-stop-shop for providers to get the information necessary to inform their patients and community members about coverage options available in their state. As you share this new resource with your grantees and stakeholders, please feel free to use language from this email to help set the stage. With the Health Insurance Marketplace opening October 1, it will be especially important for health care providers, site administrators and faculty – often the most trusted sources for health information – to know where to direct individuals and families for the most current and accurate resources. Safety net and primary care providers are particularly well-positioned to share information with their patients and communities, as they know well the importance of access to preventive and primary care services and, when needed, acute care. As most members of HRSA grantee and stakeholder organizations work in underserved communities – where coverage has been an enduring challenge – their efforts are especially critical. At HRSA.gov/AffordableCareAct/Toolkit, providers can: · Earn CME/CE credit through trainings on preventative services covered by the ACA · Review fact sheets, including 10 Things Providers Need to Know and 10 Things to Tell Your Patients about the Health Insurance Marketplace · Access state-specific Marketplace and consumer assistance information · Download resources for patients, including a step-by-step coverage enrollment guide · Use Health Insurance Marketplace PowerPoint presentations to help educate colleagues and students · Share resources through social media by simply clicking the Facebook, Twitter and/or Google+ icons · Click on links to Healthcare.gov (Spanish: Cuidadodesalud.gov) and Marketplace.cms.gov for additional resources for consumers and providers, respectively At the end of the day, this is about what every HRSA staff member, grantee and stakeholder strives for – healthy people across the nation. But, achieving this goal is predicated on ensuring access to health care services through affordable health coverage for all Americans. And, for the first time, this goal is within reach, if we reach out. Thank you for your commitment to achieving this goal.
