NY State of Health • Affordable Health Coverage
NY STATE OF HEALTH – NAVIGATOR PROGRAM
NY State of Health is an organized marketplace designed to help people shop for and enroll in health insurance coverage. Individuals, families and small business can use the Marketplace to help them compare insurance options, calculate costs and select coverage. The Marketplace uses a single application that helps people to check their eligibility for health care programs like Medicaid, Child Health Plus, and the Essential Plan and enroll in these programs if they are eligible. The Marketplace also tells what type of financial assistance is available to applicants to help them afford health insurance purchased through the Marketplace. New Yorkers can complete the Marketplace application online, in person, or over the phone.
Navigators provide enrollment assistance to individuals and families who would like help applying for health insurance through the Marketplace.
The Navigator program is designed to meet the needs of New Yorkers by providing assistance in convenient, community-based locations. Navigators provide culturally competent, linguistically appropriate, and disability accessible enrollment services. They are available at convenient times, including evenings and weekends, at no cost to enrollees.
Our agency is licensed by the state to provide Navigators for in-person enrollment assistance to individuals and families who apply for health insurance through the NY State of Health Marketplace.
This service, like all WDOM’s services, is always free.
