What is Facilitated Enrollment?
Facilitated Enrollment is one-on-one assistance to help individuals enroll in government sponsored health insurance programs including, but not limited to:
♦ Medicaid
♦ Medicaid Spend-Down
♦ Medicaid for Working Disabled
♦ Medicaid Managed Long Term Care
♦ Medicare Savings Programs
The Facilitated Enrollment program is designed to eliminate barriers to accessing the application process by providing assistance in local community based locations at times that are convenient to applicants, including home visits. This will allow individuals to obtain comprehensive health insurance, improve health outcomes, and thereby improve quality of life.
Who is Eligible for Facilitated Enrollment?
An individual’s eligibility depends on various factors including: income, assets, employment, other health insurance, citizenship, residency, age, and household size, among others.
