This presentation will provide information on California's population likely to be eligible for coverage expansions under the ACA, in addition to providing detail on those likely to take-up coverage in two different scenarios. Special attention will be paid to the limited English proficient, racial/ethnic minorities, immigrant groups, and young adults. After discussing the potentially hard-to-reach populations in the state, we will discuss grants and marketing attempts by the Exchange and other entities in California to find and enroll those groups.

Learning Areas:

Biostatistics, economics
Diversity and culture
Provision of health care to the public
Public health or related laws, regulations, standards, or guidelines

Learning Objectives:
Describe the populations least likely to enroll in new ACA programs. Analyze the effect of outreach and enrollment programs on these hard-to-reach populations. List the barriers to entry for the newly eligible population, including calculation of income, Advance Premium Tax Credits, language, and knowledge.
