New York health plans

Looking for low-cost or no-cost health insurance? We offer health insurance plans including dual health plans for people with both Medicaid and Medicare.

For general information about the plans in your state, visit New York's homepage.

Recently, New York Attorney General Letitia James and the New York State Department of Health warned all New Yorkers with Medicaid, Child Health Plus, and the Essential Plan to be on the lookout for fraudulent requests targeting enrollees as they renew their coverage. Continuous coverage ended for these public health insurance programs on March 31, 2023. Starting in mid-March, renewal notices began going out to enrollees with detailed instructions on how to stay covered and their deadline to take action.

There have been reports of scammers taking advantage of this process, threatening New Yorkers that their Medicaid coverage is cancelled or at risk for cancellation unless they provide hundreds of dollars to reinstate or continue benefits. This is false. New York State will never charge Medicaid consumers to enroll or re-enroll.

In a recent consumer alert, Attorney General James and Acting Department of Health Commissioner Dr. McDonald shared tips on how to stay vigilant and spot potential abuse, and offered additional information on the renewal process.

Additionally, New Yorkers are encouraged to visit the New York State Department of Health website or its Medicaid information page for more information about public health insurance renewals.
