A letter from Mayor Rafferty:
Working Citizens of Pass Christian,
If you have a job and do not have healthcare insurance, I encourage you to reach out to the following people:
Lori Banks (Mississippi Gulf Coast Insurance)
601 720 6012
Stephanie Clarke (Vigilant Health)
601 720 6012
The Mississippi Municipal League (MML) is an official non-profit organization for Cities and Towns to provide lobbying support and education to Municipal officials. MML has established the Mississippi Community Health Advisors (MCHA) to assist Cities and Towns in obtaining healthcare coverage for their employees. Based on my benefits background (I previously managed the global benefits programs at four multi-national companies), I have become a Board member of the MCHA and we have helped 6 small towns in Mississippi obtain healthcare coverage for their employees.
In addition to City employees, we are also reaching out to small businesses and citizens of Pass Christian who do not have healthcare coverage. Attached is an overview of the type of coverage that you could be eligible for. Healthcare coverage is offered through Ambetter which has over 200,000 participants in the State of Mississippi. The type of coverage is marketplace (i.e., Obamacare) with the federal government offering a subsidy on the basis of income and where you live. Vigilant Health offers a clinic in Gulfport for you to visit at no cost or very little cost to you.
Coverage starting January 1, 2025: open enrollment ends December 15th.
Coverage starting February 1, 2025: open enrollment is December 16, 2024-January 15, 2025.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays.
