HEALTH INSURANCE OUTREACH AND ENROLLMENT

New Jersey Community Health Centers (CHCs) have a critical role in educating the public and signing them up for health insurance. This effort is called outreach and enrollment. As providers of healthcare, Community Health Centers continuously educate and assist patients in determining their eligibility for state, federal, or community programs. NJPCA, in turn, assists Health Centers in their outreach and enrollment team members through technical assistance.
