San Juan Basin Health is providing a free informational presentation for local residents who would like to know more about how to obtain health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, and how to apply for help with paying for it. The presentation will be at 6 p.m. Feb. 3 at the Durango Public Library. The brief presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. No reservation is needed.
After Feb. 15, Coloradans will no longer be able to enroll in health insurance through Connect for Health Colorado or to apply for Federal tax credits to help pay for their insurance. Anyone who pays for their own health insurance, or who does not have insurance and is not eligible for insurance coverage through an employer or other source, can use Connect for Health Colorado to shop for health insurance.
For more information call Kevin O'Connor in Durango at 335-2021 or Renee Burch in the Pagosa Springs office at 264-2409 Ext. 203.
In addition to SJBH, there are other sites in the community for individuals to receive assistance. A listing of these organizations is available at http://sjbhd.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Health-Insurance-Assis
