Welcome to business in Hampshire. Fred Kroger. My guest and his team will navigate the new Hampshire health care system. Especially now due to fear, confusion and misinformation about healthcare. When patients use search engines and social media, the sheer amount of information at their fingertips can be overwhelming. And with all this available information, we have to ask what can be trusted? In early 2021, New Hampshire formed a group to help residents navigate health care. . Free funded until 2020, based in new Hampshire called HEALTH MARKET CONNECT. Health information and health insurance assistance. A team of navigators for out-of-state relationships with healthcare providers. And as they navigate the possible end of this public health emergency, the requirement for continued enrollment in Medicaid is expected to lead to significant loss of coverage. It’s a bowling ball who walks with me through navigating the healthcare system and what they’re doing to confront this fear and chaos. Principal of Manchester-based Health Market Connect, he also has a background in financial services and insurance. Welcome. Thank you for having me We are honored to have made this funding available to the state. You know, in my mind, for years, I envisioned the ability to create a team and one in different pockets of the state. New Hampshire is a very diverse state and it speaks many languages ​​because we want to make sure we can help everyone wherever they are. what are you listening to? As such, much of it has to do with the pending end of the ongoing public health emergency. At this time, it should end on January 11th unless it moves again. Another 90 days, possibly. But the state has done a great job in the health and welfare sector. Really they’re calling for a pink letter campaign. Consumers who have Medicaid, have insurance, or need to update their information to make sure they receive a pink letter in the mail amidst confusion. What do consumers need to do right now? The answer is you. However, you will not lose your coverage until the public health emergency is over. And my goal, hopefully never. So what do navigators do? What do they actually do? They work with consumers to help them understand which insurance program is right for them. Our state has something for everyone and healthcare providers are playing ball with you. We want to make sure we are aligned with that. Federally Accredited Health Along with centers, hospitals and independent offices. Ultimately, we make sure that the coverage that consumers have works for them and works for offices. So when the health emergency is over, will your business end or continue? That means we’ve been funded by the federal government for several years to implement this model. And I hope they look at us and say, yeah, that’s great. Well, soon we’ll have health insurance marketplace open registrations scheduled for November 1st, right? Well, this is probably where we’re going to get really, really busy. November 1st is open registration on the Federal Marketplace. Until December 15th, that coverage will start at the beginning of the year. They have until January 15th for compensation to start in February. What do you expect? We currently have 50,000 people in our market. I hope and hope for lots of reviews. Lots of new plans, lots of price changes. I think it will be a busy team. all right. Now, Kate Bolin, pronounce it right. Bilingual, fine. all right.
