“This is the second enrollment period for the Health Insurance Marketplace, and there are still thousands of uninsured Tulsans who will benefit from having health insurance to receive much needed preventive care and access to a primary care physician,” said Tulsa Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart. “The enrollment period is shorter this time, so it’s important for Tulsans to start looking at their options now and enroll in a plan. The ‘Claim Your Coverage’ coalition of partners is focused on a common goal: ensuring Tulsans have a healthy future.”
Attendees are encouraged to bring several important documents to the event: social security numbers and/or immigration status numbers for all family members; employer and/or other income information; policy numbers for any current health insurance; and information about any job related health insurance currently available.
