Affording your Health Care

There are resources available in New York City to make health care more affordable for residents. Some options available are listed below, but GetCoveredNYC can you help you find resources and benefits that fit your specific needs. Contact GetCoveredNYC today for individualized support in accessing affordable health care.

  • Premium Tax Credits: There are tax credits available for health coverage that is purchased through the NY State Marketplace. These tax credits make private health insurance more affordable for those who qualify.
  • NYC Care: If you don't qualify for or can't afford health insurance, you can get NYC Care. NYC Care isn't health insurance, but it's a coverage plan that helps you get affordable medical care at New York City's public hospital system.
  • Medicare Savings Programs: Medicare Savings Programs help pay for Medicare costs. If you make $2,260 or less, you may qualify for a Medicare Savings Program! Medicare Savings Programs may be used to help pay for your Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.
