Comprehensive Information for New York Consumers Seeking Health Insurance

The Health Insurance Resource Center is designed to help consumers make informed decisions when purchasing health insurance for themselves and their families.

The center provides basic information on various types of health insurance plans available, and up to date information to evaluate and compare various health insurance options and companies. We've also included links to other websites that provide relevant information to help consumers make informed and reasoned decisions.

The New York Consumer Guide to Health Insurers contains a ranking of HMOs and health insurers based on complaint statistics and enrollee satisfaction surveys and includes information on the number of successful appeals to independent external review agents. These appeals result from decisions to deny benefits based on medical necessity grounds or classification of procedures as experimental or investigational.

Please feel free to explore the Health Insurance Resource Center and to make comments or suggestions. We hope that the information provided will assist you in your efforts to learn about the health insurance market place in New York State.
