Open Enrollment Year 8 (OE8) begins today and if you’re looking for a promotional material to use for people with disabilities, we have graphics which highlight OE8 with images of people with disabilities and other populations. AAHD is working with Community Catalyst and other partners in conducting outreach to educate individuals about the ACA Marketplace. This outreach includes graphics like the one to the right which highlight the dates of OE8. These graphics are available in the Community Catalyst Outreach Hub.
If you’re assisting people with disabilities with enrollment decisions, we want to make sure you have all the resources you need to be able to assist individuals with disabilities as they consider their options on the ACA marketplace. We have a Disability Guide which is meant to strengthen disability literacy, help you identify and provide appropriate accommodations and assist you in correctly identifying issues that are central to healthcare insurance for people with disabilities. The disability guide is also available for PDF download.
