ContractCMS Navigator Cooperative Agreement • August 23rd, 2024
Since 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded funding to organizations serving as Navigators in states with a Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM). Funded organizations operate as Navigators year-round, using funding from CMS to conduct outreach and education in their communities. They raise awareness among uninsured consumers about the coverage options available to them, help consumers find affordable coverage that meets their needs, and assist them beyond the enrollment process. Navigators make sure consumers have the tools and resources they need to use and maintain their health coverage all year, including help with unauthorized enrollment or switching health plans.
