The Community Engagement Program of the University of the South and the Sewanee Business Alliance will host two information sessions on the Affordable Care Act on Friday, Nov. 15.
The first session will be at 2 p.m., in Convocation Hall, at the corner of University and Georgia avenues. The second session will be at 4:30 p.m., at the Blue Chair Bakery. Computer stations will be set up to offer individuals a chance to see the cost of the exchange’s insurance plans for local counties.
The sessions will offer basic information about how the new health insurance marketplace works, who will benefit from it, cost of the policies and how to sign up. The insurance policies offer free preventative care and substantial discounts for individuals and families within established income ranges. For example, individuals making between $11,490 and $45,960 will be eligible for discounts, as will a family of four making between $23,550 and $94,200.
Wes Brown, senior vice president of Willis Global Insurance, and Myron Douglas, a designated health insurance marketplace navigator for Tennessee Primary Care Association, will be available to answer questions from individuals whose employer-based health insurance is not deemed affordable by the new law and provide information for people who do not currently have health care insurance. For more information contact Jim Peterman at 598-1482 or email <ce@sewanee.edu>.
