DECO Recovery Management Announced as a Federal Navigator Grant Recipient
(PRWEB) August 26, 2013 -- On Thursday, August 15, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced $67 million in grant awards to 105 Navigator grant applicants in Federally-facilitated and State Partnership Marketplaces.
DECO is humbled to be among those groups selected to serve as a Navigator. “DECO fosters a culture of service within our organization and to be selected to serve our fellow Americans and have an impact in the lives of millions is a humbling opportunity”, said Godlee Davis, EVP. “We are further humbled at the opportunity to be stewards of the tax payers’ funds and to ensure the facilitation of affordable and accessible quality healthcare,” says Andy Foland, VP. DECO will be working with experienced community partners such as The Benefit Bank of South Carolina, with over 2000 volunteers across the state as well as chambers of commerce, hospitals and hospital associations across the country.
Navigators receive extensive training and will be the source of community education, screening, and enrollment to consumers about health insurance, the new Health Insurance Marketplaces, qualified health plans, and public programs including Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
