Navigators available to help with health insurance questions
The Gainesville Sun
A certified HealthCare Navigator will be available at seven Alachua County Library District locations through Feb. 15 to provide information about health insurance options available under the Affordable Care Act as well as to help people sign up for health coverage.
Anyone wishing to enroll in health insurance, shop for a new plan or renew their health coverage can visit one of these locations for free assistance. Information on local resources available for those who don’t qualify for the discounts and can’t afford the insurance is also available.
HealthCare Navigators are trained and scheduled by Suwannee River Area Health Education Center.
