RESOURCES FOR LIBRARIES
 Health Insurance Marketplace is a new way to find health coverage that fits everyone’s
budget and needs. With one application, patrons can see all of the health plan options and
enroll. They can compare plans based on price, benefits, quality, and other important
features before making a choice. They’ll also find out if they can get lower costs on their
monthly premiums for private insurance plans. They can find out if they qualify for lower
out-of-pocket costs. The Marketplace will also tell them if they qualify for low-cost, or
free, coverage available through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program
(CHIP).
 Starting October 1st, 2013, the Health Insurance Marketplace, also known as the health
insurance "exchange" will begin Open Enrollment. Plans and prices will be available then.
Coverage starts as soon as January 1, 2014. Open Enrollment ends March 31st, 2014. To
receive coverage by January 1, enrollment must be completed by December 15.
 The Marketplace website, HealthCare.gov will be the primary tool for delivering
information to patrons about their health coverage options. For Spanish speaking
consumers, CuidadoDeSalud.gov is also available, as well as 12 other languages.
 Patrons will be able to apply online, by mail, phone, or in-person – just like taxes, online is
preferred. If patrons apply online--again, just like taxes--they will find out much sooner
about their acceptance.
 Starting in 2014, if consumers do not have some type of health insurance, they might pay a
 Attend webinars or view archived sessions. All librarians and front line
service associates should attend or view at least one. (Like this one!)
 Add a widget or badge to your website directing patrons to the Health
Insurance Marketplace
 If you have research databases/websites available through your library’s
website, add Healthcare.gov
 Print out and provide Fact sheets to patrons
 Get Ready to Enroll in the Marketplace
 Things to Think about When Choosing a Health Plan
 Partner with community organizations (like AARP, the local health department,
Community Action, etc.) to schedule and present Affordable Care Act and Health
Insurance Marketplace programs in the library or other community locations.
 Print out patron handouts and post announcements about the programs by doors and
on the library website. Make the information easy to find on the website.
 Create A “One-Stop-Shopping” display of announcements and handouts, including
contact information for local area navigator organizations and health center
counselors.
 Post basic information sheets in the library’s public computer areas.
 Consider having a librarian (or two) get training as an Application Assistor, or a
Certified Application Counselor.
 Take brochures, fact sheets, and other materials to other events in the community,
including public service radio announcements and newpaper articles about public
forums.
 Customize handouts with your library’s logo.

training for people who lack Internet resources at home, libraries can
anticipate higher demand for computer services.
