Flu Shots and Affordable Care Act Insurance Sign-up Assistance

Farmington¾

 

Healthy Community Coalition staff is providing the influenza vaccine (seasonal flu shot) and information about the Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance in November. 

 

The schedule is as follows:

 

·         Tuesday, November 10 at Farmington Public Library from 10:30 a.m.-noon

Open enrollment for marketplace health insurance goes from November 1 through January 31, 2016. Individuals who are currently enrolled in a marketplace plan must reenroll for 2016. In order to avoid a gap in coverage, currently enrolled individuals must sign up before December 15. Individuals who have questions about enrolling or reenrolling in marketplace insurance may schedule an appointment for free assistance with a trained navigator at Healthy Community Coalition offices. 

 

Flu shots are available to individuals 18 years old and older. For individuals that do not have insurance there is a suggested donation of $25 or whatever one can afford. HCC is unable to accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Healthy Community Coalition purchases all vaccine used for the public clinics and appreciates donations to help cover costs for those in need.
