(AP) — The “navigators” who will help Kansans enroll in health plans as the new insurance marketplaces prepare to go live are training but still don’t know details

of the plans, rates or subsidies.

The Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved held a training conference for about 40 navigators this week in Wichita.

The plans vary by state, but Kansas and most others still haven’t released information about the cost of plans to be offered.

Enrollment will take place online at www.HealthCare.gov starting Oct. 1.

KAMU executive director Cathy Harding says states like Kansas that turned down federal money to expand Medicaid have a “Medicaid doughnut hole,” where some residents will make too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford insurance on the marketplace.
