Health Care Insurance Navigators

Health care insurance navigators assist individuals and families, as well as small businesses, that seek insurance through the health insurance marketplace or exchanges. These exchanges have been implemented in states throughout the country as a result of federal law to require health insurance coverage for Americans not otherwise covered by private health insurance plans. The navigator’s role is to educate consumers about their insurance options in the marketplace, and help them to compare and determine what choices may be best for each individual or group, assist with the enrollment process in a qualified health plan, and direct consumers to resources necessary to address any problems related to the insurance plans.
