To help customers prepare for the upcoming Affordable Care Act
enrollment period, Rite Aid is once again providing convenient and
comprehensive resources to assist them in choosing the best health
insurance choices for themselves and their families. Beginning Nov. 15,
independent, licensed insurance agents will be available through a
dedicated toll free number to enroll customers and provide free
consultations with customers to answer questions on the Affordable Care
Act.
The agents will be able to help customers compare healthcare plans based
on individual needs, and will be able to advise customers on Medicaid
eligibility in applicable states. Customers will also be able to enroll
in a plan over the phone if they choose. All Rite Aid stores will have
brochures with information on the Affordable Care Act and information
will also be offered on www.riteaid.com/affordablecare.
“Providing customers with access to independent and licensed insurance
agents reinforces our commitment to improving the health and wellness of
our communities,” said Robert Thompson, Rite Aid executive vice
president of pharmacy. “We know that many of our customers will be
looking for help as they search for the best health insurance solutions
for themselves and their families and our resources will help them make
the right choices this enrollment period.”
