TALKING POINTS FOR HEALTH CENTER STAFF TO USE WITH PATIENTS

1. What the Health Insurance Marketplace Is 

• The Health Insurance Marketplace (also called “the Exchange”) is an official, online resource where people can shop for and enroll in affordable health insurance plans. 
• The only official site for the Marketplace is HealthCare.gov—applying through unofficial sites may lead to errors or scams. 
• Marketplace plans cover essential health benefits like preventive care, prescriptions, hospital stays, and more.

2. Who Can Use It

• Anyone who needs health coverage can apply. 
• People with certain income levels may qualify for reduced premiums and out-of-pocket costs. 
• Even if you have coverage now, it’s important to update your information and review plans and savings you’re eligible for. 

3. How It’s Changing

• Verification Requirements: Proof of income, household size, and sometimes identities are required for enrollment and continued coverage. 
• Plan Changes: Plan options and prices can change each year, so it’s important to log in, update your information, and compare plans. 
• Savings Updates: Premium tax credit amounts are updated annually and may change based on income and household information. 
• Integration with Medicaid: Navigators can check both Marketplace and Medicaid eligibility in one application. Medicaid rules aren’t changing right now, but open enrollment is still the main window for Marketplace plans.

4. Why Action is Needed Every Year

• If you don’t update your information and re-enroll during open enrollment, you could: 
  • Be placed in a plan that doesn’t meet your needs
  • Miss out on available savings

5. Who Can Help

• Navigators and Certified Application Counselors (CACs) are trained, free, local experts who guide you through the process step-by-step. 
• They help you: 
  • Review your current plan 
  • Compare options 
  • Submit applications 
  • Upload required documents 
• Find help through your local health center or visit GetCoveredSouthDakota.org. 

6. How to Connect Patients to Help

• Share the GetCoveredSouthDakota.org website 
• Help patients schedule a Zoom appointment: https://communityhealthcare.net/get-covered-sd/get-help/contact/  
• Refer patients to the Contact Form: https://communityhealthcare.net/get-covered-sd/get-help/contact/  
• Encourage them to call CHAD at 605-277-8405 with questions 
• Apply on Marketplace on their own at healthcare.gov 

CONVERSATION SCRIPTS FOR HEALTH CENTER STAFF TO USE WITH PATIENTS

1. Uninsured Patient

Staff: “I see you don’t have health insurance listed. Did you know there are affordable plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace? You may even qualify for savings to lower your monthly cost. We have Navigators/CACs who can walk you through your options for free—would you like me to connect you?” 

2. Patient Who Lost Medicaid Coverage

Staff: “I notice your Medicaid coverage has ended. Losing Medicaid makes you eligible for a Special Enrollment Period through the Marketplace, so you don’t have to wait until next year to get coverage. A Navigator can help you look at plans and see if you qualify for savings. Would you like me to share their info?” 

3. Patient Not Eligible for the Sliding Fee Scale

Staff: “I understand you don’t qualify for our sliding fee discount. The Marketplace is another option that might work for you—it offers different plans, and many people qualify for premium tax credits that reduce your costs based on income. We can connect you with a Navigator/CAC who can check what savings you may be eligible for. Would you like to set up a time to talk with them?” 

Tips for Bringing It Up Naturally 

• At check-in: “Before we get started, I just want to check if you have health insurance or if you’d like info about coverage options?” 

• When patients express worry about costs: “I hear your concern. There may be affordable coverage options through the Marketplace or Medicaid—many patients qualify for help. Would you like me to connect you to someone who can go over this with you?” 

• Closing conversation: “Our Navigators/CACs are free and trained to answer all your questions. I can give you their contact information or help set up an appointment.”
