Leading up to and during this open enrollment period, Botsford Hospital will host a series of monthly learning sessions to connect people with resources, support their health insurance literacy, and enable their meaningful use of the new health insurance coverage.

β€œWith our upcoming series of monthly informational sessions in summer, fall, and winter, we’re trying to be change agents for our communities,” says Luke Meert, Botsford Health Care corporate director of accounts receivable. β€œAt Botsford, we want to help people learn about their options under the Affordable Care Act, so they can make informed decisions about their health care coverage.”
