MIA launches new health insurance help
ANNAPOLIS — The Maryland Insurance Administration has launched a new service to help state residents get through the tangle of obtaining health insurance coverage. Health Care Coverage Assistance Team, or H-CAT, offers assistance from trained staff to help consumers make the right connections for the right coverage for themselves and their families, said Gov. Wes Moore as he introduced the program. “Health care access is about much more than eligibility. We must move in partnership to ensure that Marylanders understand all of the resources available to them — and have the tools and guidance necessary to make informed decisions,” Moore said. “I am thrilled that we are launching this new initiative, which has the potential to set the standard for making health care more accessible in communities across the country.” The H-CAT team can be reached through the website at https://insurance.maryland.gov/Consumer/Pages/Health-Coverage-Assistance-Team.aspx or by calling 410-468-2442.
