THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT

If you are enrolled in a Kaiser, Health Net, or Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Louisiana medical plan through the SUP Welfare Plan, you have the health plan coverage required by the Affordable Care Act. Medicare, Medicaid, and military plans also satisfy the requirements.

California residents can go to Covered California online at www.coveredca.com to find information on plans for family members not covered under your health plan or Medicare. Residents in other states can find the Health Insurance Marketplace by calling 1-800-318-2596 or going to www.healthcare.gov.
