Here is a note of interest for any community-based facilitated enrollment agencies out there. The Community Service Society has issued an RFP for a new project titled the Retention and Enrollment Assistance through Community and Healthcare Outreach (REACH-Out) Project (say that three times fast).
The goal of the REACH-Out project is to increase statewide retention rates for low-income kids in New York’s public health insurance programs. The RFP is open to facilitated enrollment (FE) lead agencies and FE subcontractor organizations.
Applications are due Friday, October 21. Questions on the RFP and Project are due by September 30th to Catherine Chao at cchao@cssny.org.
