 CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System is offering free counseling services to those seeking individual or family coverage through the Health Insurance Exchange during open enrollment from November 1 through December 15, 2020.

Certified application counselors are now available at the new address: 1406 College Drive, Suite 1, Texarkana, Texas, to help guide participants through the enrollment process, clarify if their health care provider will continue to be in network and determine if they qualify for insurance premium assistance, which can help cover the cost of premium payments. Participants can call 903.614.2776 to make an appointment, and walk-ins are also welcome.

ArkLaTex Council of Governments Agency (ATCOG) is offering a Premium Support Program with grant funding provided by CHRISTUS St. Michael. The program is designed to help families and individuals pay premium costs for health care coverage. To determine qualification for premium assistance, participants must bring a pay stub from 2018 or a 2019 Tax Return. Persons who are not U.S. citizens must provide proof of legal residence. 

Arkansas residents who meet the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines do not qualify for the Premium Support program because their premium costs are already covered through the expansion of Medicaid in Arkansas, also referred to as Arkansas Works.
