There are many exciting things happening as we approach the start of open enrollment on November 1, 2015.
Media Training Webinar: Enroll Nebraska has created a media toolkit in conjunction with Appleseed, CMS, and HCAN to help support your outreach efforts around the state. Experts will share the best ways to create buzz and get the word out about events and services through press releases, interviews, and blogs posts during our web-based training on October 19th from 1-2 PM CDT. Join us and RSVP here!
Education & Engagement Group Webinar: The Education and Engagement Group is having one of their quarterly meetings via webinar on October 21st at 12 PM CDT. Please RSVP here. The EEG is the new awareness, outreach and referral portion of Enroll Nebraska. It is made up of non-health care related nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations. Get more information the Education and Engagement Group and learn how to join here.
Week of Action: This year, Enroll Nebraska is organizing the “Thankful for Health Coverage Week of Action” from November 15-21st for all enrollment assister organizations. By centering our outreach efforts on one week, we believe that we can get some strong media coverage and get more people in to enroll in health coverage. Your organization can further concentrate this effort by hosting an event on November 18th; however, we encourage you to plan an event anytime during the week of November 15-21st!
Enrollment Campaign: Last year the 500 and 1500 by the 15th Campaigns brought the state’s assisters together and the results exceeded expectations. This year we are launching the ‘2016 in 2016 Enrollment Campaign’. All assisters will be working together to enroll or renew 2016 individuals in coverage in January of 2016. Get excited!
Lastly, we want to remind you that here at Enroll Nebraska we have experts on the ACA as it is written and can answer most questions about proper implementation and technical assistance. Contact Nebraska Appleseed staff attorney Molly McCleery at mmccleery@neappleseed.org with questions or for more info.
