13 Affordable Care Act Outreach and Enrollment
14 Rural Coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplace Nearly 20% of Americans live in rural areas. Disproportionately older/larger Medicare population. More prevalence of chronic disease. Greater proportion lack coverage than urban areas.* Lower income levels.* In states that are expanding Medicaid, rural residents more likely to be eligible for the coverage expansion. Consumer Assistance roles include Navigators, Certified Application Counselors, Health Center O&E Counselors, Agents and Brokers. *source: The Uninsured: An Analysis by Income and Geography, Barker AR, Londeree JK, McBride TD, Kemper LM, Mueller K, RUPRI Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis, Rural Policy Brief, June
15 Recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services* 1. Build on Initial Lessons Learned to Target Subsequent Outreach & Enrollment Efforts 2. Clarify that O & E efforts qualify under the IRS Form 990 Community Benefit 3. Leverage Existing Community Infrastructure to Reach Rural Communities 4. Enhance the Ease of Use of the Health Insurance Marketplace Web Site * National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services: Rural Implications of the Affordable Care Act: Outreach, Education, Enrollment; January 2014 Policy Brief
16 Ideal Ways to Target Rural America at the Local Level Through Radio Through Local newspapers With flyers through bill statements (e.g. cable, electric, and water bills) and bank deposit slips By leveraging family members as messengers Visit town-hall meetings and community dinners Visit state fairs and rodeos Use school-based campaigns Coordinate with faith-based communities Training retirees as O & E volunteers Coordinate with Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, Lions Clubs, VFW s, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and other civic groups Work with the USDA Cooperative Extension Service * National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services: Rural Implications of the Affordable Care Act: Outreach, Education, Enrollment; January 2014 Policy Brief
17 Investing in the Health Care Workforce
18 HRSA s Interest in Workforce Development Workforce touches the work across all HRSA activities and programs. The evolution of efforts have mirrored changes and needs in the national health care system. National workforce needs are greater than ever with the growth/aging of the population and increases in the insured population.
19 Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) Helping America to build a health care workforce prepared and eager to improve the public health by expanding access to quality health services and working to achieve health equity. Created in May 2014, integrating HRSA workforce programs previously housed in two bureaus: Health Professions and Clinician Recruitment and Service. Challenges: The U.S. faces shortages of primary care physicians, dentists, nurses, public health and other health professionals. The Nation s health care workforce does not currently reflect the diversity of the population that it serves. The aging of the population is a significant trend that requires retooling the health workforce to deal with geriatric issues. Integrating Behavioral Health and Oral Health into Primary Care
