IMPORTANT NOTICE
ABOUT YOUR PLAN ENROLLMENT
This notice concerns your health insurance through NY State of Health as of September 21, 2020.
If any of the enrollment information listed below is not correct, please call us right away.
Call NY State of Health at 1-855-355-5777 (TTY: 1-800-662-1220) to get help in other languages or for help
reading this notice. This notice is also available in other formats. Call for more information. To find a
navigator or certified application assistor near you, visit https://www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov or call us.
For questions about what services and health care providers are covered, please call your insurance
company at:
You can end your coverage through NY State of Health at any time. You can end coverage through NY
State of Health for yourself, for everybody in your household or just for some household members. Call
NY State of Health at 1-855-355-5777 to learn more about ending your coverage.
o Ending Your Qualified Health Plan: If you end coverage for you or another person, you may not
re-enroll until the next annual Open Enrollment period. This rule does not apply if you qualify for
a Special Enrollment period (SEP). Life events that open an SEP include getting married or
having a baby. For more information about SEPs, visit
http://info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/SpecialEnrollmentPeriods.
IMPORTANT: When you end coverage with one plan and start a new one in the same year, all
of your cost-sharing responsibilities start over. For example, any payments that went toward the
annual deductible for your old plan will not apply to the new plan. This is true even if the new
plan is with the same company.
o Ending Your Medicaid, Child Health Plus, Essential Plan, or Qualified Health Plan: You will no
longer be able to access services after your coverage ends.
Please Note: Changing your coverage is different than ending your coverage. If you want to switch
plans and do not want to make any other changes to your account, call NY State of Health to find out if
you are eligible to switch plans and to pick a different plan. Enrollment in Child Health Plus and the
Essential Plan can be changed at any time during the year.
If anything has changed in your life that might affect how you are covered and what you pay for health
insurance, you must go to http://www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov. Log into your account to update your
application with any changes about you or your household members. The types of changes that may
affect your eligibility can be found in section, “Reporting changes during the year,” of this notice.
Over the next year, you are obligated to report to NY State of Health any changes that would affect
your eligibility for enrollment in health insurance within 30 days of such a change. You need to tell us if:
– You move;
2 of 6
– Your household changes, for example, you marry/divorce, become pregnant, or have a
child(ren); adopt a child(ren) or if a child(ren) is placed for adoption with you;
– Change how you plan to file your taxes, for example, if you will claim new dependents (only
if you are receiving financial assistance).
To report changes you may go to your My Account at www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov or contact us. If you
do not report changes, and the changes affect your eligibility for advance premium tax credits, you may
have to pay back some or all of the subsidies you received.
If you are eligible to enroll in a Medicaid Managed Care plan and are not yet enrolled in one, you need
to choose a health plan. If you do not choose a plan, one will be chosen for you. If you need health
care before your health plan coverage begins, use your Medicaid card at any health provider who takes
Medicaid.
– If you are enrolled in a Medicaid Managed Care plan, you will get two cards – a New York
State Benefit Identification card (Medicaid card) and a card from your health plan. Keep
your health plan card and Medicaid card in a safe place; you will need both.
– You must use Medicaid providers and show your Medicaid card to receive any Medicaid
services that are not covered by your Managed Care plan.
– You will receive information about your benefits and available providers in your network from
your plan. The benefit package will cover a wide range of services, including doctor’s visits,
inpatient hospital care, lab tests, prescription and non-prescription drugs and much more.
For any questions about your health plan’s covered services and providers, you may contact
your health plan directly.
– You should contact your new health plan to select your Primary Care Provider (PCP). If you
are choosing a new doctor, call the doctor’s office first to make sure that he or she is
accepting new patients and is participating in the health plan you have selected.
– You may have the opportunity to opt out of enrolling into a Medicaid Managed Care plan.
Some people have a special situation that allows them to choose to either join a health plan
T012-76554154-01
or to receive regular (fee-for-service) Medicaid. This includes Native Americans, and people
in waivered programs such as Care At Home and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). If you think
3 of 6
you may have one of these special situations, or would like to learn more about your
options, you may call NY State of Health.
– You may be eligible to select and enroll in a Special Needs Plan (SNP) if you are a New
York City health plan member. SNPs, with their own set of doctors, providers, and hospitals,
are designed to meet the specialized health needs of individuals who are homeless,
transgender, or living with HIV/AIDS. Medicaid members who are eligible for SNP may
transfer to these plans at any time.
– You may be eligible to select and enroll in a Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) for adults
who need physical and/or behavioral health services. HARPs provide services such as
doctor visits, mental health and substance use disorder services, medications, and hospital
care. Medicaid members who are eligible for HARP may transfer to these plans at any time.
– Persons eligible for HARP or SNP can transfer into these plans at any time. For persons
eligible for all other plans, you will have 90 days from the effective date of your health plan
enrollment to change your plan for any reason. You can only change plans if there is
another health plan available in your area. After 90 days, you will not be able to change your
health plan for the next 9 months, unless you have a good reason. For more information
about this, contact NY State of Health.
Important information about your New York State Benefit Identification card (Medicaid card):
If you are new to the Medicaid program, you will receive a New York State Benefit Identification card
(Medicaid card) in the mail. If you received Medicaid benefits in the past and were issued a card at that
time, you should use that card. Please call NY State of Health at 1-855-355-5777 if you do not get your
card or cannot find your old card.
You must bring your card with you each time you use medical services. Please keep your card in a safe
place and let us know immediately if your card does not work, is lost or stolen. Keep this card even if
you stop receiving benefits. The same card may be used again if you become eligible in the future.
If you need medical care before you receive your card, you must make sure the provider accepts
Medicaid. The Medicaid program can only pay the bill for medical services if the provider accepts
Medicaid.
For more information on what services are covered by Medicaid or to find a Medicaid provider near you,
please call the Medicaid Helpline at 1-800-541-2831.
Contact us if you have any questions about this Notice. Let us know if you need help applying for or
accessing your health insurance coverage.
