The Denver-based Piton Foundation, a private, operating
foundation that provides opportunities for children and families to move from
poverty and dependence to self-reliance, is conducting a statewide public
information campaign to help increase awareness about the new health coverage
options available under the Affordable Care Act. Starting in October, low- to
moderate-income, uninsured and under-insured Coloradans will have the
opportunity to enroll in free coverage under Medicaid or purchase quality health
insurance through Connect for Health Colorado’s marketplace.
As part of its outreach campaign, Piton has created a suite
of educational materials in English and Spanish that organizations can use to
help inform clients, patients and other potentially-eligible individuals about
these new health coverage options. The materials include information on both
the expansion in Medicaid eligibility and the ability for people to purchase
lower-cost insurance through Connect for Health Colorado using federal
assistance. Piton will provide these materials, which include a tri-fold brochure
and poster, to organizations in any quantity needed for no cost.
The brochure
and poster
can be previewed here. To order printed copies of these materials in any
quantity at no cost, please contact Melissa Viola at mviola@piton.org or 303-454-3768.
