With the Health Insurance Marketplace opening October 1, it will be especially important for health care providers, site administrators and faculty – often the most trusted sources for health information – to know where to direct individuals and families for the most current and accurate resources.
To assist, HRSA has officially launched the Provider Marketplace Toolkit! This toolkit includes a range of resources and materials that clinicians, educators and health care administrators can use to learn more about the Marketplace and inform patients about their new health care options, how insurance works, and the benefits of having insurance. It also includes materials for providers to learn more about the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP).
