GRMC Hires Insurance Enrollment Counselor

Grinnell Regional Medical Center announces the hiring of Anastasios “Tasos” Papachristoudis to serve as an insurance enrollment counselor. Papachristoudis will work with individuals to explore their health insurance options on the new Health Insurance Marketplace through healthcare.gov.

            The Affordable Care Act requires everyone legally living in the U.S. to have health insurance. If you currently do not have health insurance, you are required to sign up during open enrollment, from October 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014. You can shop for plans by phone, through a broker, at on-site enrollment locations, or at the online Health Insurance Marketplace. If you choose not to enroll for insurance, the law states that you will face tax penalties.

            Papachristoudis is available by appointment to help provide assistance with insurance enrollment on the Health Insurance Marketplace. Call at 641-236-2566 or email at tpapachristoudis@grmc.us to set up an appointment.
