Open enrollment for marketplace health insurance goes from Nov. 1 through Jan. 31, 2016. Individuals who are currently enrolled in a marketplace plan must reenroll for 2016. In order to avoid a gap in coverage, currently enrolled individuals must sign up before Dec. 15. Individuals who have questions about enrolling or re-enrolling in marketplace insurance may schedule an appointment for free assistance with a trained navigator at Healthy Community Coalition offices.
Flu shots are available to individuals 18 years old and older. For individuals who do not have insurance, there is a suggested donation of $25 or whatever one can afford. HCC is unable to accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Healthy Community Coalition purchases all vaccine used for the public clinics and appreciates donations to help cover costs for those in need.
