Community Health Network offers resources, enrollment assistance for uninsured in Indiana's Health Insurance Marketplace

For release on October 18, 2013

Indianapolis, IN---Community Health Network, in partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, has announced plans to assist the uninsured with enrollment in the Indiana Health Insurance Marketplace. Under an agreement with Anthem, Community Health Network physicians, hospitals and facilities will serve as the primary provider network for Central Indiana residents who purchase an Anthem health benefits plan on the Indiana Health Insurance Marketplace, or “exchange.”

“Community Health Network is pleased to offer increased access to quality health care through the Indiana Health Insurance Marketplace,” said Brian Schlagenhauf, vice president of managed care at Community. “We believe our partnership with Anthem allows those who need health insurance most to obtain the lowest cost plans. Licensed insurance brokers representing Anthem will be a critical component in the enrollment process and can help consumers find the right plan to meet their individual needs.”

Enrollment can happen online, on the phone, or in-person, even at a caller’s home if that’s the most convenient option.

To assist patients and health care consumers, Community is offering enrollment events through the remainder of the year at the following locations:

Community Hospital East, main lobby
October 22, November 19, December 10

Community Hospital North, main lobby
October 30, November 21, December 12

Community Westview Hospital, main lobby
November 14, December 5

Community Hospital South, main lobby
November 12, December 3

Community Howard Regional Hospital (Kokomo)
October 24, November 13, December 18

All events will begin at 4:00 p.m. and end at 7:00 p.m.

Those who want to enroll for coverage during one of these sessions should bring the following: social security numbers (or document numbers for legal immigrants); employer and income information for every member of the household who needs coverage (pay stubs or W-2 forms; wage and tax statements); policy numbers of any current health insurance plans covering members of the household; and a completed Employer Coverage Tool for every job-based plan members of a household are eligible for (available on eCommunity.com/enroll).

The deadline for consumers to enroll in the Marketplace is December 15, for coverage beginning January 1, 2014. The final deadline to enroll is March 31, 2014.
