CMS HOSTS REGIONAL TELECONFERENCE SERIES ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT


Beginning Thursday, September 6th, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is hosting free regional teleconferences for the public.  The teleconferences will focus on the latest updates on implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace (Exchanges). Starting in 2014, health insurance exchanges will allow individuals and small businesses to compare health plans, get answers to questions, find out if they are eligible for tax credits for private insurance or health programs like the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and enroll in a health plan that meets their needs. These teleconferences are a great way to get ahead of the curve and learn about expanded insurance coverage options that will be available down the road.

Each teleconference is listed for a particular region, however if you are unable to attend the date for your region, you may attend the teleconference for any other region.  Advance registration is required.  See the information below for details and a registration link for each of the ten teleconferences.
