- Summary:
- "This toolkit is designed to help behavioral health providers assist lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people enroll in health coverage. Many LGBT people in the United States lack health coverage, and therefore often lack access to behavioral health services and could benefit from enrollment support. They may be unaware of new health coverage options under the Affordable Care Act that could affect their health outcomes. Behavioral health providers can promote enrollment by educating patients about the law and directing them to appropriate resources for further assistance. The Toolkit has three parts. Part 1 is a briefing document that provides background information on behavioral health issues affecting LGBT communities. It summarizes research on barriers that LGBT individuals may face when seeking health coverage. Topics include the Affordable Care Act, responding to enrollment concerns, choosing an appropriate health plan, and finding providers who are sensitive to LGBT needs. It concludes with resources, most of them online, that provide additional enrollment support. Part 2 is a slide deck that summarizes main points from the briefing document. Part 3 is a Question and Answer brochure that health care practitioners can provide to LGBT patients"--Introduction.
