The State Interagency Team wants
to be sure they are available to Iowans to provide them with
timely and accurate information to dispel misunderstandings
or clarify the confusion about the changes in healthcare coverage
and the new federal requirements (as we all know the rules of
health reform can be complicated). This will be a wonderful
opportunity to have a chance to discuss you questions with experts
from the state.
The goal is to help Iowans make informed
decisions regarding their health coverage as 2014 and also to
make sure employers and employees understand what is changing.
Please assist the Interagency Team in getting the word out about
this important opportunity as open enrollment and 2014 moves
closer every day.
Your state agencies are excellent
sources of information, please help us in sharing that with
all of those who need it. For more information contact:
