What the Health Care Law Means

There’s been confusion regarding the rollout of the Affordable Health Care Law. At Urban CNY we are presenting information to better assist our readers in navigating the health care maze. In New York we have a government that has been proactive, setting up an exchange that ties participants into other services offered by the State of New York.  

In addition, local navigators are available to meet with groups and individuals to assist in accessing benefits of the Affordable Health Care Act.  

Health Plan Navigator for Onondaga County

Onondaga County Navigator Contact Number:  315-470-1847

 HealtheConnections, Health Planning, has been selected by the New York State Department of Health and NY State of HealthTM, the official health plan marketplace, to spearhead the In Person Assistance Navigator program for Onondaga County. The scope of the HealtheConnections Navigator program is designed to reach all segments of the population, including individuals, families, sole proprietors and employers. The target audience is uninsured and under-insured individuals.  Approximately 8.5% of Onondaga County residents are uninsured. Of those, more than half (54%), are employed.

 Enrollment through the health plan marketplace allows individuals, families, sole proprietors and small businesses to access tax credits and other tax benefits to help make health insurance affordable. New Yorkers may use the calculator on the NY State of HealthTM website to estimate their eligibility for tax credits; see: www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/PremiumEstimator

Navigators will be able to meet potential individual enrollees at community locations throughout the County, at times and locations that are convenient for them. Services will be available in several languages in addition to English. To make an appointment, please call the shared scheduling number after October 1, 2013. Insurance coverage begins January 1, 2014.
