Healthy NY was developed as a program to help promote comprehensive and quality health care for small business owners and their employee’s. It was created after the passage of the Health Care Reform Act of 2000 which was developed to provide a greater number of people access to health care insurance in the state of New York.
The Healthy NY program also helps sole proprietors and those whose employers do not provide health insurance for them.
Included benefits cover essential health needs and include: inpatient and outpatient hospital services, physician services, maternity care, preventative health services, diagnostic and x-ray services, and emergency services. Applicants may now choose a benefit package with a limited prescription drug benefit or a benefit package without a prescription drug benefit in order to lower premiums in cases where they are not needed.
