One Day Left to Enroll in Health Coverage beginning January 1st
“As the December 15 deadline for January coverage approaches, the time for New Yorkers to act is now,” said NY State of Health Executive Director, Danielle Holahan. “The cost of coverage has never been lower and as the pandemic continues, maintaining high quality health coverage has never been more important.”
Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, more financial help continues to be available to more New Yorkers in 2022 than ever before. The American Rescue Plan offers expanded tax credits to help consumers lower their premiums. A third of New Yorkers enrolled in Qualified Health Plans pay $100 or less per month for coverage after ARPA tax credits. Consumers can estimate their premium costs after the American Rescue Plan Act’s enhanced federal tax credits through the NY State of Health premium estimator tool available here.
