Get Covered Illinois

A GCI Certified Application Counselor (CAC) can be any employee or volunteer from a Certified Application Counselor Organization (also known as a Certified Application Counselor Designated Organization) that enters into an agreement with Get Covered Illinois. The agreement requires the organization to train its employees or volunteers to assist eligible individuals with:

• Information about insurance affordability programs and qualified health plan coverage options.
• Comparing qualified health plans side by side and answering questions about health coverage.
• Enrolling in qualified health plans and insurance affordability programs.

CACs play a critical role in educating and enrolling uninsured Illinois residents, especially those in underserved communities. Services are free to consumers.
