The Foundation for Health Coverage Education has agreed to refer many of the consumers who turn to it for help to a volunteer broker network operated by the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU).
The San Jose, Calif., foundation – the group that runs the CoverageForAll.org website – gets about 100,000 queries per year through the Web and through a toll-free telephone line, according to NAHU, Arlington, Va.
The foundation screens the consumers by giving each one a 5-question eligibility quiz, then provides a personalized list of public and private coverage options.
