Open enrollment for the health insurance marketplace is getting closer. When Nov. 1 arrives, will you and your team be ready to help people understand and enroll in health coverage? The annual CoverWyo kickoff event hosted by Enroll Wyoming and the Wyoming Primary Care Association is meant to prepare people for the marketplace changes and challenges.
The upcoming event on Oct. 8-9 at the Rock Springs Holiday Inn at 1675 Sunset Drive will have an extra emphasis on roleplaying and interactive training.
TENTATIVE AGENDA – SUBJECT TO CHANGE
All events at the Patio Room of the Rock Springs Holiday Inn
Tuesday, Oct. 8
8 a.m. to Noon – Optional Unconscious Bias Training
We all hold biases – our brains are naturally wired to establish patterns and associations between information to inform our decision-making. We expressly acknowledge some bias, while we are less perceptive of others. Learn how to identify surface biases to improve equity and objectivity to best serve our consumers when enrolling them in the marketplace. Understand how unconscious bias develops, the areas of the workplace where it can have a negative impact, and how to appropriately address situations where it is present.
