| Inclusive Healthcare |
| Inclusive Health is a state program offering a health insurance option to individuals having difficulty finding affordable coverage. It is primarily geared to residents with pre-existing medical conditions who do not have access to group coverage or other government programs like Medicare or Medicaid.
It is also available to people who have exhausted their COBRA continuation benefits and trade displaced workers.
With premiums capped by state law, Inclusive Health is often less expensive than traditional individual insurance coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. A federal grant is also allowing Inclusive Health to offer a limited number of subsidies to approved individuals who may not be able to afford to participate in this program.
Experts will be available to help with eligibility questions and assist with the enrollment process on February 19. They can also answer questions or compare benefit plans and premium rates. A list of items applicants should bring to help with the process is available on our website at www.inclusivehealth.org.
At 11 a.m., Inclusive Health’s Executive Director Michael Keough will lead a brief discussion about the program. Inclusive Health members are invited to join us and share their stories during this presentation. Questions from the media and general public will be addressed.
