Marketplace Webinar Invitation: Information to Help Tribal Communities

Wednesday, April 8th from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET

In partnership with the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), the CMS Division of Tribal Affairs is co-hosting a webinar providing Marketplace updates on Thursday, April 8, at 1:00 PM ET. This presentation will highlight recent policy changes that may impact American Indian and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), including the special enrollment period (SEP) from February 15 to May 15, 2021, CMS outreach efforts, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP), which will help reduce health care costs, expand access to coverage, and ensure nearly everyone who buys their own individual or family health insurance through a Marketplace can receive a tax credit to reduce their premiums. ARP not only provides resources for America to beat this pandemic, but it also expands access to health insurance coverage, lowers costs, and ensures that health care truly is a right for all Americans.

We will also have a presentation on “Enrollment of Tribal Citizens and Other Indian Health Service (IHS) Eligible Individuals in Health Insurance Coverage through a Marketplace, Including Use of Tribal Sponsorship to help provide information” for those helping individuals enroll in assistance. Please join us to learn more about these recent changes and how we can help Tribal members get access to coverage.
