January 2025
Spotlight: 2025 Marketplace coverage
January 15 is the last day of the current open enrollment period for Marketplace coverage. However, tribal members who qualify for a special enrollment period can enroll in 2025 Marketplace coverage after that date.
Having health insurance increases the chances that consumers will make their health a priority. People with health insurance are more likely to see a primary care provider regularly for preventive health services [ https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/ ], like diabetes screening, diet counseling, and interventions to help them stop smoking. Marketplace plans cover all of these services and more.
*"January 15 is the last day of open enrollment for 2025 Marketplace coverage."*
As the Marketplace enrollment deadline approaches, the CMS Division of Tribal Affairs (DTA) encourages American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) families to visit HealthCare.gov [ https://www.healthcare.gov/ ], where they can:
* Learn about their coverage options
* Apply for a 2025 plan that meets their needs
Additionally, DTA recommends that enrollment assisters review and share the following resources:
* Health Coverage Options for AI/ANs [ https://www.cms.gov/marketplace/technical-assistance-resources/AIAN-health-coverage-options.pdf ] (PDF, 208 KB, 10 pp) has information about coverage options available through the Marketplace, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program.
* Know Before You Go [ https://www.cms.gov/files/document/rtbc-provider-er-differences-english.pdf ] (PDF, 127 KB, 1 p) outlines how services received in primary care settings differ from those received in emergency departments.
January: Live better
Drop-in ad features smiling person with three sticky notes that read (1) Challenge yourself, (2) Be kind, and (3) Positive attitude. The ad's main text reads, "Resolve to live better! Set realistic goals and list the steps you'll take to achieve them."
Share this ad in your newsletter or on your website. For more information, please visit CMS’s Outreach and Education Resources page [ https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/American-Indian-Alaska-Native/AIAN/Outreach-and-Education/index.html ].

* The updated tribal version of the Roadmap to Better Care [ https://www.cms.gov/files/document/better-care-tribal-interactive-v3.pdf ] (PDF, 3.3 MB, 27 pp) explains what health care coverage is and how to use it to stay well.

Health observances
Cover of AICAF's 2025 Turquoise Thursday toolkit
Cervical cancer prevention
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, and Turquoise Thursday is January 16. Both observances focus on preventing cervical cancer, a disease that disproportionately impacts Native communities.
Help reduce the number of cases of cervical cancer in Indian Country by sharing the American Indian Cancer Foundation’s (AICAF) newest resources, which include a:
* Turquoise Thursday toolkit [ https://americanindiancancer.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/2025-turquoise-thursday-toolkitsm.pdf ] (PDF, 4.3 MB, 14 pp)
* Cervical cancer screening pledge form [ https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=bcc5qVhId0GnFrOo9sogxxGOPCAZpShFh3y9QtNH8S1UNTZLOThLUjg0UTcxQ0YxSlNINUZNUlYxTy4u ]
The majority of cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). For that reason, AICAF supports HPV vaccination, which is recommended for people ages 11–26 who have not already been exposed to HPV. Most health insurance plans cover HPV vaccination.
Additionally, AICAF highlights the role of Pap smears and HPV tests in looking for abnormal cell changes that might lead to cervical cancer if left untreated.
