Julia Holloway from ASPIN and Bill Wilson from the Indiana Sheriff’s Association presented at Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)’s “Hot Topic” webinar that focused on working with the ex-offender population and their families. In addition to assisting with health insurance enrollment options, there are many ways assister organizations can help ex-offenders facilitate their return to community life. Presenters discussed partnering with other agencies, how to work with the criminal justice system, and best practices for working with the ex-offender population. Over 221 organizations joined us for this informative session, where two Navigator organizations that have successfully worked with the ex-offender population and their community partners shared their tips and insights to ensure the best possible transition for ex-offenders re-entering their communities.
