MEDIA ADVISORY
November 1 marked the start of the Affordable Care Act’s fifth health insurance open enrollment period, which runs through December 15. To assist Floridians with getting covered, the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida (EFOF) will once again host enrollment sites throughout the state.
To arrange interviews with navigators or consumers, contact 352-219-6029 or [email protected]. NOTE: Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, navigation services will be reduced on Friday and Saturday, and closed on Thursday.
EFOF is Florida’s second largest provider of free in-person ACA enrollment assistance, and has been a federal Navigation grant recipient in every ACA open enrollment period. EFOF has discussed ACA enrollment in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, and in statewide and local media.
