Rural Health Services Outreach Program
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Class Deviation from Competition Requirements for
Rural Health Services Outreach Program (Outreach).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) will provide program
expansion supplemental awards to the current Rural Health Services
Outreach Program grantees. The program expansion supplemental funds
will allow current Outreach grantees to expand outreach and enrollment
activities to the rural uninsured for the next Affordable Care Act's
(ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period (November 15,
2014-February 15, 2015). In addition, it will help educate the newly
insured about the insurance and benefits they can now access as a
result of enrolling during the initial Health Insurance Marketplace
open enrollment period. The overarching goals of this supplemental
funding are to: (1) Increase the number of uninsured educated about
their coverage options; (2) increase the number of uninsured enrolled
into the Health Insurance Marketplaces or other available sources of
insurance, such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance
Program; and (3) increase the number of newly insured individuals
educated about the benefits and primary care and preventative services
to which they now have access.

Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: $25,000/award
Period of Supplemental Funding: To be used in the current fiscal
year (FY) 2014 budget period
CFDA Number: 93.912
Authority: Public Health Service Act, Section 330A (e) (42
U.S.C. 254(c)), as amended.
Justification: A greater proportion of rural residents lack health
insurance in comparison to urban residents. With millions still
uninsured, this supplemental funding will allow current Outreach
grantees an opportunity to specifically employ and tailor ACA outreach
and enrollment efforts to the uninsured population in rural communities
for the upcoming Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period
(November 15, 2014-February 15, 2015). Additionally, Outreach grantees
will be able help educate the newly insured rural Americans about the
health insurance coverage and care to which they now have access.
