Healthcare Navigator

The Marketplace functions as an online web portal where individuals, families, and businesses can shop for and obtain affordable health care.

Through the Marketplace, New Yorkers are able to compare Qualified Health Plans, Medicaid, and Child Health Plus options; calculate costs; select coverage; and determine what type of financial assistance may be available.  Public health care programs are available for those who are eligible.

New York State Department of Health has contracted with Cayuga/Seneca Community Action Agency, Inc. and its subcontractor Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce to provide Navigator services in Cayuga and Seneca Counties to assist potential enrollees with accessing affordable care through the Marketplace, including:

  • Provide in-person assistance to those applying for health insurance coverage at the time of initial application and at annual renewal.
  • Offer information on the types of health insurance programs available through the Marketplace.
  • Provide application assistance for private and public health insurance programs and advance premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions.
  • Refer consumers to other organizations for help with grievances, complaints or questions regarding health coverage or a determination related to coverage.
  • Supply information in a fair and impartial manner which is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and disability accessible, including for individuals with limited English proficiency.
