Compare plansFrequently asked questions about ACA insurance in New York
What is the health insurance marketplace in New York?
The New York (NY) health insurance marketplace is NY State of Health (https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/), a state-based ACA exchange where residents compare and enroll in qualified health plans. Policymage lists 43 plans with live premium data. Open Enrollment runs November 1 through January 31.
How do I compare health insurance plans in New York?
Use policymage.com/get-quotes: enter your ZIP code, household ages, and income. Policymage fetches ACA Marketplace plans for your county, calculates APTC subsidies, and lets you compare up to 3 plans side-by-side on premium, deductible, network, and benefits. Free, no account, no broker bias. Plans in New York start from $223.28/month before subsidies.
Which Medicaid plan is best in New York?
There is no single "best" Medicaid plan in New York — Medicaid is administered through MCOs such as Empire BlueCross BlueShield, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Healthfirst. The right plan depends on your county, doctors, and prescriptions. Medicaid (income up to 138% FPL, ~$21,597/year for an individual) is separate from ACA Marketplace plans at NY State of Health. Apply year-round through your state Medicaid office.
Is short-term health insurance available in New York?
Short-term health insurance is sold outside the ACA Marketplace in New York by private insurers. These plans are not ACA-compliant: they can exclude pre-existing conditions, skip Essential Health Benefits, and lack guaranteed renewal. For comprehensive coverage with subsidies, enroll in an ACA Marketplace plan at NY State of Health during Open Enrollment (Nov 1–January 31). See policymage.com/faq for more on short-term vs ACA plans.
How much is health insurance in NY?
Health insurance in NY starts as low as $223.28/month for a 30-year-old on a Bronze plan before subsidies. Most New York residents who qualify for APTC pay significantly less — some as low as $0/month for a Silver plan.
What is the cheapest health insurance option in NY for 2026?
The cheapest ACA option in NY for 2026 is typically a Bronze-tier plan or, for residents under 30, a catastrophic plan — both carry the lowest monthly premium in exchange for a higher deductible. Compare exact New York plans and prices at policymage.com/get-quotes.
When does Open Enrollment end in New York for ACA plans?
Open Enrollment for New York residents runs from November 1 through January 31. New York runs its own exchange (NY State of Health), which set the January 31 deadline. Outside Open Enrollment, you need a Qualifying Life Event to enroll in a Special Enrollment Period.
How much does ACA health insurance cost in New York?
Bronze-tier plans in New York start as low as $223.28/month for a 30-year-old before subsidies. With APTC tax credits, many New York residents pay $0–$50/month for Bronze coverage. Costs vary by age, county, tobacco use, and household size.
Does New York use HealthCare.gov or its own state exchange?
New York runs its own state-based Marketplace called NY State of Health (https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/). You enroll there directly — not at HealthCare.gov. Plan offerings, enrollment dates, and customer support are managed by New York, not the federal government.
Has New York expanded Medicaid under the ACA?
Yes. New York has expanded Medicaid, so adults with household income up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (approximately $21,597/year for an individual) qualify for free or very low-cost Medicaid. There's no Open Enrollment window — you can apply year-round.
What are the income limits for ACA subsidies in New York?
Premium Tax Credit eligibility starts at 100% of the Federal Poverty Level — about $15,650/year for an individual or $32,300/year for a family of 4. New York residents above 400% FPL still qualify if benchmark Silver costs more than 8.5% of their income. Use the NY State of Health subsidy calculator for your exact estimate.
What are the metal tiers in New York (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum)?
New York ACA plans come in four metal tiers based on actuarial value (the percentage of medical costs the plan covers on average): Bronze (~60%), Silver (~70%), Gold (~80%), and Platinum (~90%). Bronze has the lowest premium and highest deductible; Platinum has the highest premium and lowest deductible. Silver is the "benchmark" tier used to calculate APTC subsidies, and it's the only tier eligible for Cost-Sharing Reductions if you qualify by income.
Are HSA-eligible plans available in New York?
Yes. HSA-eligible High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) are available in New York through NY State of Health. For 2026, HDHPs must have a deductible of at least $1,650 (individual) or $3,300 (family), and you can contribute up to $4,300 (individual) or $8,550 (family) to your HSA pre-tax. HSA contributions roll over year-to-year and can be invested.
Do New York ACA plans cover dental and vision?
New York ACA Marketplace plans for adults include preventive care, mental health, prescriptions, hospitalization, and the 10 Essential Health Benefits — but adult dental and vision are not federally required. Most New York plans cover pediatric dental and vision automatically. For adult dental/vision, you typically buy a separate standalone plan through NY State of Health or directly from an insurer.
What is a Qualifying Life Event for Special Enrollment in New York?
Outside Open Enrollment, New York residents can enroll in or change ACA plans within 60 days of a Qualifying Life Event: loss of other health coverage, marriage or divorce, birth or adoption of a child, moving to a new county or state, a change in income that affects subsidy eligibility, becoming a US citizen, or release from incarceration. Have documentation ready when applying through NY State of Health.
How do I find in-network doctors and hospitals in New York?
Each New York ACA plan has its own provider network. Before enrolling, look up the plan on NY State of Health, click the carrier name to access their provider directory, and search for your specific doctors and preferred hospitals by name. Out-of-network care typically isn't covered (HMO plans) or costs significantly more (PPO plans). If you have an existing provider relationship, network match is usually more important than the lowest premium.
