With health insurance coverage dates coming up, it is important for people to understand their needs and which plans are the best option for them and their families.

If you do not have insurance and are finding yourself confused about the process of the Affordable Care Act, Fort HealthCare can help you. Choosing a plan is an important decision. Aside from getting the coverage you need, you will also be building relationships with health care providers to ensure a healthy future for you and your family.

Fort HealthCare has a Certified Application Specialist that can provide assistance to help individuals navigate their way through all options. If an individual calls 920-563-4443 they will be connected with a trained professional that can provide personalized help selecting plans that meet their individual needs. Whether you are re-enrolling or enrolling for the first time, Fort HealthCare’s Certified Application Specialist can help. Accounts can be established on the website: www.HealthCare.gov or by calling 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325). Dozens of preventative services are covered fully by insurance plans, requiring no office visit co-pay.

Every health insurance plan in the Health Insurance Marketplace will offer basic health benefits, including doctor visits, preventative care, hospitalization and medications. The website allows visitors to compare plans based on price, benefits, quality and other features.
