Q: Are there any high risk health insurance plans in New York state?
A: Our service focuses primarily on low cost health plans and since there really is no such thing as a low cost health plan in New York state, we tend to have little additional useful information on the health plans available in your state. Also, as you may know, New York takes a significantly different approach to insurance than the other 49 states. This usually means that local resources, rather than national online services like "OnlineAdviser" are best for finding information on local NY health plans. Since NY managed care health plans can vary from community to community, your local phone book and doctor's office are usually good sources of information. As a starting point, see the state guide at http://covertheuninsured.org/stateguides/ for more information. If you still have no luck, check for a community health clinic near you or call the Community Health Care Association of New York State at 212-279-9686.
