Health Insurance Marketplace for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and Tribal Sponsorship
This presentation highlights policy changes that may impact AI/ANs, including CMS outreach efforts and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP), which helps reduce health care costs, expand access to coverage, and ensure nearly everyone who buys their own individual or family health insurance through a Marketplace can receive a tax credit to reduce their premiums. ARP not only provides resources for America to beat this pandemic, but it also expands access to health insurance coverage, lowers costs, and ensures that health care is truly a right for all Americans. The webinar also includes presentations entitled “Enrollment of Tribal Citizens and Other Indian Health Services” and “Eligible Individuals in Health Insurance Coverage Through a Marketplace, Including Use of Tribal Sponsorship,” which provide information to tribal governments who might want to pay health insurance premiums for their members.
