Cover Missouri

Cover Missouri is a Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) project that aims to lower the number of uninsured people in Missouri. The Cover Missouri Coalition (CMC) formed in April 2013 to expand health coverage in Missouri. To do this, CMC members spread awareness about the Health Insurance Marketplace. They also help people enroll in, understand, and use their health insurance.

HLM's role

Over the past 5 years we've:

  • Trained health insurance assisters and navigators on how to communicate clearly with consumers

  • Created interactive handouts for assisters and navigators to use during their appointments with consumers

  • Created 20 videos to help assisters and consumers understand how to get, keep, and use health insurance

  • Created social media messages to help spread awareness about health insurance topics and what's covered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

Health insurance literacy eLearnings

In partnership with the Cover Missouri Coalition, HLM created 7 self-guided online trainings to promote and support health insurance literacy. The trainings are offered to anyone who has an interest in sharing clear and easy-to-understand information about health insurance with consumers and patients.

​

It’ll take you about 15 minutes to watch eLearnings 1-6. eLearnings 7 and 8 are combined and take about 30 minutes.
