18 Key Facts Regarding Rural Coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplace
Nearly 20% of Americans live in rural areas. Disproportionately older/larger Medicare population. More prevalence of chronic disease. More likely to be on food stamps. Greater proportion lack coverage than urban areas.* Lower income levels.* In states that are expanding Medicaid, rural residents more likely to be eligible for the coverage expansion. By increasing competition, the Marketplace will lower costs in rural areas, where 1 of 5 farmers face medical debt, and on average families pay nearly half of their health care costs out-of-pocket. *source: The Uninsured: An Analysis by Income and Geography,” Barker AR, Londeree JK, McBride TD, Kemper LM, Mueller K, RUPRI Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis, Rural Policy Brief, June

19 Consumer Assistance Roles Established to Facilitate Marketplace Outreach, Education, and Enrollment
Navigators Non-Navigator Assistance Personnel Certified Application Counselors Agents and Brokers

20 Thinking Ahead to the next Outreach and Enrollment Season
Has the framework of consumer assistance established in your State been effective in rural areas? (Navigators, Certified Application Counselors, Health Center outreach and enrollment staff)? How active a role has the SORH been able to take? Have you been able to coordinate with organizations providing consumer assistance in your State: To ensure the interests of hospitals, clinics, and the rural underserved are appropriately addressed? To have an active role in the development of consumer assistance policies and practices? To take part in ongoing changes to O & E policies & practices?
