​Free Patient Navigator 

The Tuscarawas County Health Department provides free services to individuals who need help applying for, selecting, and understanding medical insurance. Some of the services she offers include education on Medicaid, Marketplace, and private/employer insurance plans, navigating Healthcare.gov, access to providers, and how to use health insurance. It is important to note that while Medicaid enrollment is open all year, the open enrollment for Marketplace is November 1st – December 15th. In the case of a qualifying life event, you can sign up for health insurance through the Marketplace outside of the open enrollment window. The navigator works to make this process less complicated by completing the application for the client during their appointment. Appointments usually take an hour, however, more complex situations may take longer. The goal with every client is to help them make the best health insurance decision possible, based on their specific needs.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling  330-343-5555 ext. 1740 or ext. 1810.
