New Insurance Finder Web Tool Simplifies Process of Searching for Health Coverage

HHS has released a new HealthCare.gov Web tool for download that makes searching for coverage options easier than before.

HealthCare.gov allows consumers to search for both public and private health coverage options through an easy to use health insurance finder tool. Based on answers to a series of questions, the coverage finder produces a menu of potential coverage choices personalized for the user.

The Insurance Finder “widget” enables anyone with a Web site or blog to embed a tool on their site allowing users to begin the process of searching for coverage options. The tool asks users two initial questions: “select a state” and “which best describes you.” Users then click on “next steps” and are redirected to a page on HealthCare.gov that continues with the insurance finder process based on answers to their specific questions.

Coordinating a Virtual Medical Home in Your Community: Lessons from the Iowa Collaborative Safety Net Provider Network

After identifying a need in the state of Iowa for access to affordable prescription drugs and access to specialists for underserved populations, as well as medical home development for the safety net providers in the state, the Iowa/Nebraska Primary Care Association was awarded state funding to create and manage a provider network to bring together all of the community resources needed to make a medical home possible. During this webinar, industry experts will share how the primary care providers in this community work with other local, community-based organizations, as part of a virtual medical home, to improve access to and the quality of care.

Coordinating a Virtual Medical Home in Your Community: Lessons from the Iowa Collaborative Safety Net Provider Network is available from the Healthcare Intelligence Network for $249 by visiting our Online Bookstore or by calling toll-free (888) 446-3530.
