What is the purpose of the outreach conducted by the Navigator Grant Program?

The purpose of the outreach conducted by the Navigator Grant Program is to educate and assist consumers regarding enrollment in health coverage. This program aims to help individuals understand their options under the Affordable Care Act, including how to apply for health insurance through Covered California. Navigators are trained to provide unbiased information and support, ensuring that consumers can make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage.

This outreach is essential for reaching underserved communities and populations that may face barriers to access, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the enrollment process effectively. The focus is not on profit margins for insurers or promoting private insurance sales, but rather on empowering consumers with the knowledge and tools they need to secure healthcare coverage that meets their needs.
