Awareness
Costs are low and almost all Montagnard families qualify because of their low income and numbers of people in the household. But while some families might have good insurance through the father's employer that includes the kids, often the mother is left without coverage. This design points out the economic choices a family makes and informs members that mom's visits to the doctor are affordable compared to other costs, especially those detrimental to good health.
Forgetting or not understanding which documents to bring
Successful enrollment requires several documents and proof of need, but too many fail to bring the correct papers. The handout shown below is designed for easy reading and as a visual reminder for those who cannot read or read with difficulty.
Driving home the message
We plan to have the lay health team use the handout to explain to moms and family members so when they come to sign-up sessions, they'll be quickly enrolled. We can introduce this at the end of food insecurity interviews and use it in ESOL classes. Through this coordinated approach, we hope to improve enrollment numbers and get eligible community members covered.
