Limited Competition for Affordable Care Act Consumer Assistance Program Grants
Consumers will need to understand new programs, avail themselves of new protections, and navigate health coverage options to find the most affordable coverage that meets their needs.
As noted in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Consumer Assistance Program Grants Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) posted on July 22, 2010, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) interprets Section 2793 of the PHS Act to require grantees to accept the inquiries and problems of uninsured consumers.
Because Qualified Health Plans in the Marketplace are health insurance coverage, the statute requires CAPs to provide assistance to individuals enrolled in QHPs, in addition to other forms of health insurance coverage.
