Uninsured and wanting options
More than 56,000 people in Maine qualify for health insurance but don't know it.
That's according to a group called Foundation for Health Coverage Education , whose mission is to get as many uninsured people covered as possible.
They're rolling out some tools to help people figure out what to do.
The 5-Question Eligibility Quiz tool, provides visitors with a customized profile of all public and private health coverage options in the U.S. for which family members may qualify. For example, women over 40 who make up to three times the poverty level can qualify for preventive care through the Maine Breast and Cervical Health Program.
The free U.S. Uninsured Help Line (1-800-234-1317) provides live, one-on-one assistance 24 hours a day. You talk with folks who will help you figure out whether you are qualified for private or public coverage.
The Health Care Options Matrix brochure, which tells you about public and private health coverage options, including type of coverage, eligibility, and monthly costs.
