For residents of Hamilton County struggling with the convoluted web of health insurance options, there's now a beacon of hope at the local health department. A newly certified Health Insurance Navigator is ready to steer folks through the labyrinth of Medicaid programs and plans available under the Affordable Care Act. This service is completely confidential and compliments the support offered to parents, children, and WIC participants.
After going through an immersive financial navigator course and passing a state exam, the navigator earned certification from the Indiana Department of Insurance. Now, the Hamilton County Health Department is not just a place where you get your flu shots, it's an official outpost where uninsured residents, or those simply scratching their heads at insurance paperwork, can find real help, according to an announcement.
Be sure to come to your appointment with the necessary paperwork, like birth certificates or proof of income, tucked under your arm. Residents interested in scheduling this invaluable help can set up an appointment for a private chat at the Health Department's designated counsel corners.
