The American Association on Health and Disability released a Guide to Disability for Healthcare Insurance Marketplace Navigators. Navigators and other enrollment specialists can use this guide to learn the unique considerations people with disabilities face as they shop for healthcare coverage. For example, someone with a mental health condition or cognitive impairment may have difficulty concentrating or following detailed instructions.
The guide was created as part of the National Disability Navigator Resource Collaborative, an initiative aimed at providing cross-disability information and support to navigators and other professionals providing enrollment support to people with disabilities.
