KU Medical Center is required by federal law under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to distribute a form to all current employees.

For individuals not eligible for our medical coverage, the government marketplace may provide opportunities for health insurance coverage. If you would like to research your options, please visit www.healthcare.gov.

For most of our employees, this notification serves simply as an FYI. For everyone who has medical coverage through the state, keep two important points in mind:

• This notification does not affect your coverage. Your coverage will continue with no changes, and there is no action required on your part unless you want to keep a copy of the form and notification for your files.
• This notification is not related to our annual open enrollment benefits.

This form, titled New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage, provides information on a new health insurance marketplace formed by the U.S. government.
