Community Health Partners, BridgerCare and Bozeman Public Library are collaborating to share information with anyone interested in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), sometimes referred to as Obamacare. There will be trained, certified counselors available for visits in a confidential, private setting to explore what type of coverage is available and how to enroll.

The enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act is the 90 day period when people can select and join in a health insurance plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For 2016 coverage, the Open Enrollment Period is November 1, 2015 - January 31, 2016. “It's free to set up the account, and it's free to receive our help,” said Beth Renick, “We are required by law to be impartial, and we don't get any financial reward." Be prepared with a current email address, all household members' Social Security numbers, and best estimate of your household income for 2016 if you are planning to enroll.

Sessions will be held on Monday, November 9th from 1-4pm, Thursday, November 19th from 6-8pm, and Saturday November 21st from 10am-1pm in the second floor study rooms at Bozeman Public Library. Appointments are not required, but available, drop-ins are welcome. No one will be turned away.
