The funds pay for hiring 2,900 workers to assist with enrollment of patients in a benefit plan offered through Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program or in private plans via health insurance exchanges.
These grants will supplement a program in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to spend up to $54 million in grant funds to hire “Navigators” within state health insurance exchanges to aid consumers as they compare and select a health insurance benefits package.
