The Open Enrollment period for the next phase of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) kicks off on November 1. In San Antonio, Texas (63.3% Latino population), the Enroll SA coalition was formed to increase healthcare enrollment in the area.
Many San Antonians in the area remain uninsured. On Monday, October 31, the coalition will hold an event at the University of Texas at San Antonio Downtown Campus to unveil its resources for the upcoming open enrollment period. These resources include where to enroll and what plans are available and explanations of both benefits and penalties for those who choose to not enroll in a plan this year.
In order to reduce health disparities, it is critical to address inequities in programs, practices, and policies. Join our site, connect with others, and get involved.
Coalition members, including CentroMed, Christus Santa Rosa Health System, and Enroll America, will highlight the documentation needed to enroll; for those that fall in the “Medicaid gap,” members can explain what documentation is needed to help avoid tax penalties.
In Bexar County, Enroll SA has set up information on enrollment events in the area that can be accessed by calling “211.”
