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

In Response to the COVID-19 Emergency and by Executive Order of President Biden, the Marketplace will re-open February 15, 2021 - August 15, 2021. All Marketplace-eligible consumers may submit a new application or update (change) an existing application.

Bilingual Navigators are available.
