Marketplace
The Health Insurance Marketplace is a resource where you can learn
about your health coverage options, compare plans, and enroll in coverage. Under the Marketplace, AI/ANs have special protections and benefits.
• Special Monthly Enrollment Periods
• Cost Sharing Reductions (no out-of-pocket costs), depending on income
• Lower costs on monthly premiums, depending on income
• Exemption from the shared responsibility payment (tax penalty)
Talk to your benefits coordinator today.
When you sign up for these programs, your clinic and
hospital can bill for services provided. When these programs pay for your health care, you help the clinic or hospital provide more services now and in the future.
Sign up now to get these services for you and your family. By enrolling, you have greater access to more services, better quality services, and even services that aren’t available now.
Talk to the clinic staff. They can help you
understand the program and fill out the forms.
Congress passed special laws so that American Indian/Alaska Native
(AI/AN) people can get Medicare and Medicaid services at our own Indian health facilities.
Enrolling in Medicare and Medicaid brings additional resources to our hospitals and clinics.
This provides more health care to our people, both new services and services that improve your quality of care.
Sign up today!
Medicaid
Medicaid is a state-run program based on family income that helps people who need health care services. Medicaid pays for services like hospital care, lab
work, X-rays, transportation, family planning, pediatric care, and early health screenings for your child. A person can have BOTH Medicare and Medicaid. And your child may be eligible for Medicaid, even if you aren’t.
Check with your state Medicaid office to learn about the specific services in your state.
Medicare
Medicare is a Federal program that helps care for the elderly and
disabled. Medicare pays for things like hospital care, diabetes screenings, mammograms, cancer screenings, help with quitting smoking, and much more. Medicare provides the shots, tests, and services you need to get healthy−and stay healthy.
Programs for Families and Children
The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) offers low-cost
health insurance for families and children to help you and your family get the health care services you need. CHIP covers things like shots, well-baby visits, hospital, and emergency care. Your state may have its own name for CHIP, like KidsCare in Arizona.
