CCHCC helps with Open Enrollment, without any federal or state support.
Dear friend,
The Medicare Open Enrollment season has ended, but the ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment period continues until Tuesday, December 15, 2020, and CCHCC is here to help!
But did you know that CCHCC is the only organization in Champaign County that can help local residents with BOTH Medicare Open Enrollment, as well as ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment? And, we also help with Medicaid enrollment, which is open year-round! And our services are FREE! You can help support CCHCC’s Open Enrollment work by sharing our information with others so that they can get help getting covered, and also by making a financial contribution to CCHCC.
Did you also know that Champaign County Health Care Consumers (CCHCC) gets no federal or state funding to help community members enroll in health insurance? And yet, even without federal or state funding, CCHCC has been doing enrollment work for the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplace plans since the very beginning – October 2013. And, we’ve been doing Medicare enrollment work even longer, and our services are free!
How can we do this work without federal or state grants? The funding that supports CCHCC’s enrollment work comes from community support – including individual contributions from people like you!
CCHCC’s experienced staff with highly-specialized skills are here to help year-round!
CCHCC’s staff are the most experienced enrollment workers in our community! Thanks to community support from people like you, CCHCC has been able to retain staff and build our expertise in health insurance enrollment.
Our work is much harder and more time-consuming when we have to socially-distance. CCHCC’s work to provide free services to consumers, including health insurance enrollment, is much harder now that we have to work remotely and practice social-distancing. Providing direct services to consumers is more complicated and time-consuming, and our ongoing work of doing community outreach and education for the Open Enrollment periods is more challenging than ever, as we have to do this work without being able to hold in-person meetings.
ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment is from November 1 through December 15, 2020.
There is a lot going on with the ACA, including the recent Supreme Court case (with a decision expected next summer), but it’s important to remember that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is still the law of the land! So, that means that private health insurance, and subsidies to make that insurance affordable, are still available through the ACA Marketplace! Also, for lower-income folks, Medicaid is still available, and Medicaid enrollment is available year-round. If you are not sure whether you qualify for a Marketplace plan with a subsidy, or for Medicaid, we can help you figure that out!
If you need help with your ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment, please contact CCHCC as soon as possible to schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable staff! To contact CCHCC for help, please call our office phone and leave a voicemail message at 217-352-6533, or send us an email at cchcc@cchcc-il.org. We will contact you to schedule your appointment!
You can also visit CCHCC’s ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment Center.
CCHCC provides more than enrollment help – we help people get the health care they need.
As part of our enrollment services, we help people get set up with “medical homes” where they can receive primary and preventive care, and referrals for specialty care. We also help pay for people’s prescriptions when they can’t afford them, and we help our clients gain access to affordable dental, vision, and mental health services. Our work gives our clients the gift of health.

Sincerely,
Champaign County Health Care Consumers
