Health Insurance Marketplace
open enrollment is here
The Health Insurance Marketplace is a resource where individuals,
families and small businesses can learn about health coverage options,
compare health insurance plans based on costs, benefits and other
important features, choose a plan and enroll in coverage.
Based on the federal government’s relationship with Indian Tribes,
health care is provided at no cost to American Indians and Alaskan Na-
tives (AI/ANs). If AI/ANs enroll in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) through
the Marketplace, they can continue to receive services from their local
Indian health care provider. Indian health care providers bill QHPs for
services provided to their patients and the reimbursements collected
benefit the entire Tribal community.
Open enrollment for 2018 coverage runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15, 2017.
Feel free to contact Dana at the Grand Ronde Health & Wellness Center
503-879-1359 or log on to www.healthcare.gov for further information.
