CMS Celebrates 10 Years of Coverage to Care!

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of Minority Health (CMS OMH) is proud to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Coverage to Care (C2C) initiative. Since its inception, the initiative has helped people understand their health coverage and connect to the primary care and preventive services that are right for them, so they can live a long and healthy life.

To ensure that people are aware of these benefits, C2C has released a suite of resources – available in as many as 9 languages – designed to help people navigate their coverage, access care, receive preventive care, and manage their chronic conditions. C2C’s original resource, the Roadmap to Better Care, has also been updated over the past decade to better help people navigate the evolving health coverage landscape.

Community Partners

C2C began as a grassroots effort, relying on our trusted community partners to directly reach those they serve. It is because of the efforts of navigators, libraries, and others like these around the country, that C2C has been able to have such a lasting impact across the U.S.

Over the last decade, C2C resources:

  • Have been distributed to every state and zip code, and
  • Ordered more than 1 million times, including the Roadmap to Better Care.

Through our Community Connections Tour, we have collaborated with local organizations across the country to help educate people about getting the most out of their health coverage. C2C has participated in events across the country at local health fairs, community events, virtual webinars, and train the trainers, and looks forward to continuing this work with you.

Stay Up to Date with C2C

From our newest resource to the latest community events, stay in touch:

As we celebrate a decade of C2C, we also look forward to how the program will continue to develop over the next decade and beyond.
