Change Happens!’ Navigator Program ensures that Texans in the Gulf Coast Region can access high-quality, affordable health coverage in the Federal Marketplace. The program provides Navigator services in person and remotely (online and by phone). The broad public education approach we utilize encompasses:​

• Community presentations and forums

• Out-stationed assistance locations

• Integration of consistent media and marketing messaging 

• Local Helpline Center

• Special events and various other outreach and education activities that result in successful enrollment opportunities

Navigators: 

• Provide information that is culturally and linguistically appropriate to the needs of the population being served 

• Assist any consumer seeking assistance, "no wrong door."

• Disseminate information in a fair, accurate and impartial manner 

• Offer referrals to consumer assistance programs as necessary

Open enrollment is November 1, 2020 – December 15, 2020; however some consumers may qualify for a special enrollment period between now and the next open enrollment. 

Bilingual Navigators are available.
