The Kaiser Family Foundation recently updated their Marketplace Calculator so it reflects the scenarios in Open Enrollment Year 3. For a link to the calculator and to find out what it covers, read our news item by clicking here.
Recently, more states have adopted the Medicaid expansion and have done so through a waiver rather than the traditional expansion envisioned in the ACA. The Kaiser Family Foundation has released a new issue brief which examines these waiver states. To read our news story which lists the six states adopting a waiver expansion and has a link to download the brief, click here.
Speaking of Medicaid, on Monday, CMS released the Medicaid enrollment data for September 2015. To download a copy of the report, read our news story by clicking here. The report can also be found on our Resources & Links page under “Enrollment Statistics.”
Are you looking for local partners to help with outreach to the disability community? The NDNRC is funding eighteen Community Outreach Collaboratives (COCs) for the third year of enrollment. This includes the eleven that were funded last year, plus seven new locations in six new states. The COCs will increase collaborations in the community, dissemination and outreach efforts and enrollment of people with disabilities in the ACA. To find a COC, click here.
Finally, as you’re going through open enrollment, make sure you have all our NDNRC resources including our Disability Guide and fact sheets.
