What happens outside the clinic can significantly impact our well-being. Here are essential ways we can promote health equity and support healthier lives: 1. Prioritizing Stable Housing - For individuals with chronic health conditions, having a stable place to call home can be life-changing. It serves as the foundation for their journey toward improved health. 2. Nutritious Food Access - Healthy eating is fundamental, yet many face barriers to accessing nutritious food. Community programs can help bridge this gap, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive. 3. Addressing Transportation Barriers - No one should miss out on healthcare due to transportation challenges. Providing reliable rides can empower individuals to seek care when they need it most. 4. Community Resource Hubs - Care hubs bring together healthcare services, social support, and community resources, making them easily accessible in people's neighborhoods.

As the ACA enrollment period starts, it’s crucial for health plans to understand the importance of starting members off on the right note, particularly for underserved communities. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Expanded Coverage: After Medicaid unwinding, the ACA has made significant strides in keeping people covered, including with mental health services and related benefits. This year, it’s essential to communicate these options effectively to ensure that those who need care know how to access it. 2. Focus on Inclusivity: Many individuals in diverse communities may still face barriers in trust with their insurer. Consider outreach strategies that address language and cultural differences to foster a more inclusive environment. 3. Screening for SDOH: Create workflows for your teams to screen for not only medical conditions, but also health related social needs, which can be met to curb costly hospitalizations. 4. Community Resources: Partnering with local organizations can enhance outreach efforts. Collaborating with community groups ensures that potential enrollees receive information about their options in familiar and trusted environments. 5. Follow Up and Support: Post-enrollment, it's important to continue supporting patients as they navigate their coverage. Providing resources and information can help patients understand how to utilize their benefits effectively. As we head into this crucial period, let's work together to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to access quality mental health and alleviate social risk factors. #emotivohealth #ACA #affordablecareact #healthcare #HealthPlanExecutives #marketplaceplans #sponsoredinsurancefunds #sdoh #hrsn #memberengagement
