Navigators can help individuals determine if they qualify for low-cost insurance through the Affordable Care Act or for no-cost, state-sponsored healthcare coverage. If they do, Navigators will walk them step-by-step through the enrollment or renewal process and verify if price breaks or tax credits are available to assist them with any costs.
Open enrollment runs November 1, 2016 – January 31, 2017. If residents enroll by December 15, 2016, in most instances, their insurance will be in place by January 1, 2017.
Navigators are available at various health centers across Madison and St. Clair counties. To schedule an appointment, please call 618-397-3303.
