The Affordable Care Act has made health insurance available to more people than ever before. Our Outreach & Enrollment Specialists will help you explore your options on the NYS Marketplace and assist you in enrolling in the plan that’s right for you and your family.

We are also participating with the new Essential Plans.
When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than you’r plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.
