Additionally, 15th Night, a community movement to end youth homeless- ness, has received United Way funding to expand their network into Cottage Grove. With the school district, the group is as- sessing area need to deter- insurance in 2020 but do not get coverage through their job or the Oregon Health Plan. Sunday, Dec. 15, is the last day to enroll in a health plan through the Oregon Health In- surance Marketplace, our state’s pathway to subsi- dized coverage. About 100,000 unin- sured Oregonians may be eligible for help paying for their health insurance, but signups in Oregon are lag- ging so far this year. To get coverage or re-enroll in a plan, follow these five tips: Tip No. 1: Get a quick estimate of your subsidy and bottom-line cost of coverage. Go to Oregon- HealthCare.gov/window- shop to see the size of the may cost once that finan- cial assistance is factored in. People whose incomes are just above the lim- it for the Oregon Health Plan can find plans cost- ing them as little as $1 per month, when they meet all eligibility requirements. Tip No. 2: Get free, local help enrolling. Li- censed insurance agents and certified communi- ty partners are ready to help you complete the application for subsidies, and sort through plan op- tions. Choose an agent or partner in the directory at OregonHealthCare.gov/ gethelp, or call the Oregon Health Insurance Market- place at 1-855-268-3767 the new benefits in some plans. Consumers have re- ported that large deduct- ibles on the lowest-priced plans sometimes keep them from getting care. In response, the state re- designed some plans to allow more services be- fore the plan’s deductible is met. For the first time, plans with the words “standard bronze” in their name all cover primary care office visits for a flat $45 co- pay, even when the plan’s $7,900 deductible has not been met. This plan type is among the options with a net cost of $1 per month for single people making about $19,000 a year and meeting a few other qual- people who have gotten subsidies through the Marketplace. Health plan specifics matter, but so does the human impact of having coverage you can afford. If you need a two-min- ute break from insurance details, listen online to other Oregonians de- scribe their experience with subsidized cover- age at http://bit.ly/subsi- dy-testimonials. Tip No. 5: Don’t miss the deadline. The dead- line to enroll is Sunday, Dec. 15. If you miss it, you may go a year without health insurance. Avoid the risk and get started at Oregon- HealthCare.gov. mine a possible approach. In the meantime, Cham- ness is hopeful for more community responders to volunteer and to develop a wider network in the com- munity. “I look forward to de- veloping stronger rela- tionships with agencies, churches and different organizations that want to help us help kids and families,” said Chamness. “As opportunity increases, we will see more student and family success,” said Chamness.
