Selecting a New York Health Insurance Plan with Healthy NY
Signing Up and Selecting a Health Plan
All HMOs in New York State and some other health plans offer Healthy NY.
The Healthy NY benefit package is the same, regardless of which HMO or health plan you choose.
Premium rates vary by region and health plan. Health status, age, and gender do not affect premiums. For current premium rates and a list of HMOs in your county, call the Healthy NY toll free hotline at 1-866-HEALTHY NY (1-866-432-5849) or visit the Healthy NY Web site at www.HealthyNY.com.
To see if your health care providers are in an HMO's network, view the HMOs' provider directories at www.HealthyNY.com or contact the HMO.
You can select a plan with or without a high deductible and with or without a prescription drug benefit.
Mail your completed application and documentation directly to the HMO that you have chosen. If the HMO receives your completed application and premium check by the 20th of the month, your coverage should start by the 1st of the next month.
If you have questions about the status of your application, please contact the HMO that you selected.
