SITKA — Open Enrollment on the Health Insurance Marketplace ends December 15, 2018. Individuals that have not signed up or renewed their health insurance still have time.
The SEARHC Patient Health Benefits team has five trained Certified Application Counselors that can assist all Southeast Alaska community members to navigate the Health Insurance Marketplace. “We help everyone!” says Andrea Thomas, SEARHC Patient Health Benefits Manager, “We can help you explore your options for health coverage including subsidized plans on the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, Veteran’s Benefits and other coverage.”
The Patient Health Benefits team also helps with Marketplace and Medicaid renewals, as it is very important to update your information every year to get the best price, understand the changes for the 2019 plans, and ensure your plan covers your needs. From start to finish, SEARHC Patient Health Benefits can assist you. “Don’t be shy to ask us questions,” said Susan Briles, Patient Health Benefits Specialist, “We are more than happy to help.”
