Reliable internet access can make a big impact on your clients healthcare experience. It helps them connect with providers, access virtual care benefits, and use their LifeWise online account to pay premiums, track claims, find cost estimates, and more.
That’s why LifeWise is working to help build awareness about the Affordable Connectivity Program, a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that helps connect families and households struggling to afford internet service.
This new program provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers.
Your eligible clients can enroll through a participating broadband provider or directly with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) using an online or mail-in application.
They can learn more about the benefit, including eligibility and enrollment information, by visiting www.fcc.gov/ACP, or by calling 877-384-2575.
