CBPP Webinar: Walking Through the Marketplace Application and Enrollment Process

In the eleventh in the “Beyond the Basics” series of webinars titled “Beyond the Basics of Health Reform: Walking Through the Marketplace Application and Enrollment Process,” we take an in-depth look at the Marketplace application and enrollment process, start to finish.  We present three different scenarios and walk through the process of determining eligibility and selecting a health plan.  The scenarios highlight some of the complexities that arise in applying for coverage and selecting a plan.

The presenters are January Angeles, Senior Health Policy Analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and Dave Chandra, Senior Health Policy Analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
