Pennsylvania has received $2.7 million in Affordable Care Act money to help individuals and families navigate the health insurance exchange that the federal government will operate for the state beginning on January 1, 2014.
The money will be divided among five groups that will help individuals figure out how to take advantage of the new health insurance exchange and obtain any insurance premium subsidies for which they may be eligible.
The five groups receiving the federal money are Resources for Human Development, the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers, Mental Health America, the Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers’ Association, and the Cardon Healthcare Network.
