Welcome aboard, Navigators and Certified Application Counselors!
You have been tasked with the vital responsibility of educating people who are looking for insurance coverage on Pennie, Pennsylvania’s new health insurance marketplace.
One of the goals of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is making affordable health insurance available to as many people as possible. This helps people stay healthy, and it evenly spreads heath care coverage costs. You will distribute fair and impartial information about enrollment in qualified health plans and tell clients about the financial assistance available to them. You will make them aware of other plan options like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
UPMC Health Plan is here to assist you during the Open Enrollment Period.* As you help your clients make the best decision about their health insurance, we can answer your questions about UPMC Health Plan coverage for individuals and families, the new way to buy marketplace plans in Pennsylvania, and more.
