Coalition Comments on Proposed ACA Navigator Rule
/
In April, the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule implementing provisions of the Navigator program. State Exchanges must establish Navigator programs to provide information to consumers regarding health insurance coverage across Exchanges, and state Medicaid and CHIP programs. State Navigator programs have the potential to greatly assist children and families in enrolling in coverage options for which they are eligible. These proposed regulations create certain training/certification and “meaningful access” standards applicable to entities that operate as Navigators. The Childhood Asthma Leadership Coalition submitted the attached comments to CMS in response to this proposed rule.
