When You Are Uninsured Or Underinsured
Do you know if you qualify for Medicaid? Are you too
young for Medicare and struggling to understand how
to purchase health insurance through the Affordable
Care Act “Marketplace”? (Also known as, “Obama
Care”.) From November 1, 2016 – January 31, 2017
you can sign up for health insurance. The good news
is…
there is free help to figure it all out!
The Erie County Health Department/Erie County
Community Health Center
and
Family Health
Services
have dedicated employees to help you
“navigate” the maze of finding health insurance to
purchase and understanding the cost of the insurance
plans. If you think that you can’t afford health
insurance, you may be wrong. “Premium Tax Credits”
are available to those who qualify. This can make
health insurance very affordable.
Catherine Rhoad (419-502-2831) is the Outreach and
Enrollment Coordinator at
Family Health Services
,
located at Firelands Regional Medical Center, South
Campus, 1912 Hayes Avenue – Sandusky. She is a

Department. They are employees of the
Erie County
Health Department/Erie County Community Health
Center
, 420 Superior Ave., Sandusky. Both are

Contact one of the Certified Application Counselors
today to schedule your appointment. Any one of the
three counselors can help individuals of any age or
families apply for Medicaid or one of the Healthcare
Marketplace Insurance Plans. To help with your
insurance or Medicaid application, please bring the
following information to your appointment: Household
