How can we help?

Top Answers

Where can I find information on expanded 2025 cost savings?

On March 1, 2024, the federal government approved New York’s Essential Plan (EP) expansion waiver for populations with incomes 250 percent of FPL who would otherwise be ineligible for the Essential Plan. Over 1.5 million low-income consumers are enrolled in EP coverage. Under the amended waiver, New York will extend cost-sharing subsidies to Qualified Health Plan program enrollees starting in 2025.

More information about the cost-sharing initiatives for 2025 can be found here.

How do I enroll or renew?
  • Online through the NY State of Health website
  • By phone at 1-855-355-5777 (TTY: 1-800-662-1220)
  • With the free help of a trained and certified Enrollment Assistor or Broker

Learn more about renewing your health insurance.

How can I compare plans & estimate my costs?

To learn if you can get help paying for your insurance and to see which plans you are eligible for, use the "Compare Plans and Estimate Cost" tool on the Individuals and Families page.  If your family has an offer of health insurance from an employer, use the Employer Health Insurance Affordability Calculator to estimate if you or your family members may be eligible for financial assistance through NY State of Health.

In addition, we have several more tools available to you for comparing plans by County of residence, participating hospitals, facilities, or providers.

How do I use my insurance?

After you enroll in a health plan through NY State of Health, you may have some questions about how to use your health plan coverage.

Our Using Your Insurance page includes many resources to help you.

If you have a specific question about your health plan, please call your health plan directly.

What if I disagree with a decision made by the Marketplace? (Appeals)

To do our job, the Marketplace must make many decisions about how your situation fits the rules for different health care programs. Sometimes, you will not agree with the eligibility determinations we make. When this happens, you can ask us to reconsider and change our determination.

A request to change our determination can be made by contacting the Marketplace through the informal review process and by requesting an appeal.
