Overview

VPLC’s Enroll Virginia! program is a network of community-based organizations committed to helping Virginians access high quality, affordable health coverage. Our navigators and enrollment experts are trained and certified to provide free, unbiased assistance on health insurance options available through HealthCare.gov, Medicaid, and FAMIS.

VPLC’s work on health care focuses on major health programs for low-income Virginians. Access to health care is critically important to these residents of the Commonwealth. Many rely on public health insurance programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and FAMIS, which involve complex laws and policies. We often work with coalitions pursuing the same goals as ourselves. These coalitions include Healthcare for All Virginians, Virginia Coalition for Children’s Health, Virginians for Improved Access to Dental Care and Advocates for the Disabled.

Education, Outreach, and Training
