FY14 Partnerships to Increase Coverage in Communities Initiative | Apply Online

Opportunity Information: Apply for MP CPI 14 003

The FY14 Partnerships to Increase Coverage in Communities Initiative aims to enhance access to affordable health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA provides a simplified means for individuals to secure health coverage, including options such as Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Despite the advancements, outreach is crucial to connect minority populations—particularly those at higher risk of being uninsured—with these health insurance options.

The initiative specifically targets minority groups, including American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asians, Black or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders. The goal is to reduce the uninsured rates within these communities by providing funding to organizations that can effectively identify, recruit, and educate these populations about available insurance avenues. Successful applicants will assist individuals in navigating the streamlined application process for health insurance, ensuring that support is culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate.

Organizations may collaborate with existing coalitions to design strategies that facilitate access to information about the ACA and the Marketplace, regardless of their state’s marketplace setup. Those in states with a Federally facilitated Marketplace will utilize resources from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to deliver accurate information. Compliance with CMS training and certification requirements is necessary for those conducting enrollment activities. The overarching aim is to empower underserved communities to secure the health coverage that best meets their needs.
