2021 Navigator Awardees

2022 CMS Navigator Cooperative Agreement Awardees

Since 2013, Navigators have helped Americans understand their health insurance options and facilitated their enrollment in health insurance through the Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM). As trusted community partners, their mission focuses on assisting the uninsured and other underserved communities. Navigators serve an important role in connecting communities that historically have experienced lower access to health coverage and greater disparities in health outcomes to health coverage. Entities and individuals cannot serve as federally certified Navigators without receiving federal cooperative agreement funding, authorized in the Affordable Care Act, to perform Navigator duties. Below are the 581 organizations receiving 2022 CMS Navigator cooperative agreement awards for the FFM(s) they have been approved to serve. The table under each awardee organization provides information on which counties or parishes they will be serving, along with the underserved and diverse population(s) they plan to target, as outlined in their approved cooperative agreement application. Navigators are required to assist any consumer seeking assistance, even if that consumer is not a member of the community or group the awardee indicated in its application that it will target. The tables also include information on subawardee or subrecipient organizations that are under contract with the awardee to provide Navigator duties, if applicable. The 2021-2024 Navigator cooperative agreement awards were awarded for a 36-month period of performance, which runs through August 26, 2024. The cooperative agreement award amounts listed below under each awardee cover the second 12-month budget period (August 27, 2022 - August 26, 2023). The one awardee marked with an asterisk (*) has been funded to work in three FFM states and is listed separately under each of its funded FFM states. All 30 FFM states have at least one Navigator awardee organization.

____________________________________ 1 CMS initially awarded 2022 CMS Navigator cooperative agreement awards to 59 organizations. Effective December 31, 2022, Lifespring, Inc., dba LifeSpring Health Systems, voluntarily withdrew from the Navigator program.
