You will need to continue with your application, namely going thru the following questions asked by the NYSOH to identity proof you and make sure you are who you say you are. You can also check to see if you are eligible for any assistance or subsidy during this process. It is only when you get to the last step, ‘FIND A PLAN’, that we can help you.
At this point, you should CALL or EMAIL us to let us know you are ready for us to advise you on your medical choices. You might consider having a list of doctors or hospitals you want to check on to see which carriers include these providers in their networks.
With over 25 years’ experience with health insurance for Individuals and Small Groups, you will have all of that knowledge working for you!
Good luck during the process, and we look forward to helping you choose the plan that’s right for you!
