Welcome to the second installment of the GEAR newsletter. OE3 is just a few days away and this week we are going to highlight some tools and resources to help you get ready.
Introducing the new Post-Enrollment Workbook
GHF is excited to launch our new post-enrollment workbook. The workbook is a take-home, interactive resource for the newly enrolled. It covers topics that enrollment assisters may not have covered during the enrollment appointment, such as how to find a primary care provider, how to make your first appointment, and even how to make a budget. People can fill in the workbook with their own information so they will know that they have it all in one place.
