In the new Affordable Care Act (ACA) health care environment, safety-net institutions continue to serve as important sources of culturally appropriate care for different groups of immigrant patients. This article reports on a qualitative study examining the early ACA enrollment experiences of a range of health care providers (n = 29) in six immigrant-serving safety-net clinics in New Mexico. The six clinics configured their ACA enrollment strategies differently with regard to operations, staffing, and outreach. Providers reported a generally chaotic rollout overall and expressed frustration with strategies that did not accommodate patients, provided little training for providers, and engaged in minimal outreach. Conversely, providers lauded strategies that flexibly met patient needs, leveraged trust through strategic use of staff, and prioritized outreach. Findings underscore the importance of using and funding concerted strategies for future enrollment of immigrant patients, such as featuring community health workers and leveraging trust for outreach.

Changing Awareness of the Health Insurance Marketplace

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Health Insurance Marketplace was designed to increase the affordability of health insurance. The success of the marketplace depends on people's awareness and use of it. In a statewide mail survey of West Virginians, we found that respondents' awareness of the West Virginia Health Insurance Marketplace increased from 2013 to 2014. However, large percentages of respondents continued to be unaware of the availability of federal subsidies and were unsure of their personal eligibility for these subsidies. It is essential that awareness and enrollment efforts continue and that they be expanded in novel ways to continue growth in access to health insurance through the marketplace.
