dential and vocational opportunities to people with develop-

through the Oklahoma Department of Human Services'-
OKDHS DDSD-Developmental Disabilities Services Division

In 2013 INCA Community Services, Inc. became 1 of only 3 agencies in the State of Oklahoma to be licensed to operate a Child Placement Agency. This landmark event makes it possible for children with developmental dis-abilities to be placed in a certified Agency Companion home through INCA by DDSD/DHS. This certification is in addition to the one already in place for adults placement. This has opened up new opportunities for the program to expand into other counties since INCA is the only agency to hold this license in the area.

The Affordable Care Act includes a variety of provisions designed to pro-mote accountability, affordability, quality and accessibility in the health care system. The affordable Care Act creates new competitive private health insurance marketplaces call the Affordable Insurance Exchange or "Exchange" that will provide millions of Americans and small businesses with access to affordable coverage. Exchanges will help individuals and small employers shop for, select, and enroll in qualified health plans. Ex-changes will also assist eligible individuals to receive premium tax credits and cost sharing reductions or help individuals enroll in other federal and state health care programs such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). By providing one stop shopping, Exchanges will make purchasing health insurance easier and more understandable than in the past and will put greater control and greater choice in the hands of eligible individuals and small businesses. The Marketplace open enrollment starts October 1st 2013, and ends March 31st, 2014.
Navigators will provide accu-
rate and impartial assistance
to consumers shopping for cov-
erage in the new Marketplace,
including consumers who are
not familiar with health insur-
ance, have limited English pro-
ficiency, or are living with a
disability.
