Signing Up for an ACA Plan in New York
New York is one of 17 states that operate ACA plans through their state-run health exchange as opposed to the federal government-run marketplace, Healthcare.gov. There are many steps to follow for navigating the NY-state healthcare exchange that we will outline below.
The state of New York’s official health insurance exchange is named the NY State of Health and can be found here. When entering the site, you must create an account by providing an email address and basic information about yourself. The NY State of Health exchange is used primarily by people who do not have health insurance through a job or Medicare.
