December 2021-Letter from our NYS of Health Navigator
Expanded Tax Credits and Financial Assistance Available for 2022 Plans
Customer Service Hours Extended to Help New Yorkers Enroll
The Open Enrollment Period for Qualified Health Plans started November 16 and will run until January 31, 2022.
“Health insurance coverage is more important than ever, and the Marketplace remains committed to getting uninsured New Yorkers covered,” said NY State of Health Executive Director Danielle Holahan. “This year, more consumers have access to quality, affordable health plans including access to increased financial assistance. We encourage anyone who may need health insurance to contact us now to compare plans, apply for financial help and enroll by December 15 for health insurance beginning January 1.”
This Open Enrollment Period, more people than ever qualify for financial assistance for health insurance. Through the American Rescue Plan, more New Yorkers, including higher income individuals and families, are now eligible for increased federal tax credits, lowering the cost of premiums for 2022 health plans. In 2021, over 60 percent of QHP enrollees qualified for financial assistance.
There are many options and resources available for consumers to get enrollment help and find a plan that best fits their budget and health care needs.
