The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Division of Tribal Affairs, in collaboration with the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), is holding an All Tribes Consultation Webinar on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 from 3:30-4:30pm Eastern Time to provide updates on Marketplace Open Enrollment for Tribal communities. The Open Enrollment Period occurs every year and currently begins on November 1, 2022 and ends on January 15, 2023. 

Members of federally-recognized Tribal Nations and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Corporation shareholders can enroll year-round, not just during the yearly Open Enrollment Period.  However, they encourage enrollment during the open enrollment period to ensure family members who are not ctitizens of a federally-recognized Tribal Nation are covered for the year, or who might want to make changes by either switching to a new plan or updating their current one.

 Purpose: The webinar will highlight policy changes that may impact American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), including CMS outreach efforts and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which helps reduce health care costs, expand access to coverage, and ensure nearly everyone who buys their own individual or family health insurance through a Marketplace can receive a tax credit to reduce their premiums. We will also discuss Tribal Sponsorship, where Tribes pay premiums to help Tribal members enroll in health insurance coverage through a Marketplace plan.

 Please join to learn more about these recent changes and learn how you can help Tribal citizens get access to coverage.
