General insurance information
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Coverage to Care program, has published two easy to follow guides to help people understand and use their health insurance. The Roadmap to Better Care, “explains what health coverage is—and how you can use it to get primary care to help you and your family live long, healthy lives” and the Roadmap to Behavioral Health adds information specific to accessing mental health and substance use disorder services.
The CMS Office of Minority Health (CMS OMH) provides these and other Coverage to Care resources in additional languages and for Tribal populations, to help more people understand their health insurance coverage and how to access healthcare services of all kinds.
