Indianapolis, Nov. 4, 2019 – With the open enrollment period for 2019 health insurance plans having already begun, the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital and two additional Eskenazi Health Center locations will host a special opportunity for Central Indiana residents to learn about and sign up for various health coverage plans on Enroll Indianapolis Day on Saturday, Nov. 16.

Three Eskenazi Health locations will be open and available from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. to answer questions and help with the enrollment process. These locations are the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital at 720 Eskenazi Ave., Eskenazi Health Center Forest Manor at 3840 N. Sherman Dr., and Eskenazi Health Center West 38th Street at 5515 W. 38th St. Free parking is available at each site.

“Although exploring the numerous options available for health care insurance can be challenging, we believe this day will provide everyone with the best available options for themselves and their families,” said Dr. Lisa Harris, CEO of Eskenazi Health. “Our knowledgeable and helpful health care navigators look forward to assisting hundreds of people on this special day at all three participating Eskenazi Health locations.”

Eskenazi Health has more than 100 certified application counselors available throughout the Eskenazi Health system to provide information and assistance for individuals and families, helping them understand and select appropriate insurance coverage options.
During the open enrollment period, which closes Dec. 15, people may walk into any of the Eskenazi Health Center or Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center sites located throughout Marion County, as well as the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, for assistance.

Eskenazi Health also has a staff of certified application counselors available through a toll-free phone number – 1.855.202.1053 – to answer questions and provide assistance. The public can also email insurance@eskenazihealth.edu to receive help.

In addition to providing financial counseling, Eskenazi Health will also provide assistance with Gateway to Work education, portal login, and hours reporting during Enroll Indianapolis Day.
