Southern Tier Health Care System (STHCS) has partnered with Healthy Community Alliance, Universal Primary Care and the New York State Office of Rural Health to provide free health-insurance enrollment services to residents of the Southern Tier. This partnership is supported by the NY State of Health Marketplace which was created in response to the Affordable Care Act.
This collaborative relationship ensures that insurance-enrollment services are available in all areas of Cattaraugus County including the Seneca Nation of Indians.
Southern Tier Health Care System has provided health insurance enrollment assistance since 2000. From then until October of 2013, when the NYState of Health Marketplace opened, Southern Tier Health Care’s enrollers helped more than 22,000 people apply for health insurance. Since joining the NYState of Health Marketplace in 2013, its navigators have helped 1,200 people apply for health insurance.
The NY State of Health Marketplace was established to provide an organized marketplace through which individuals, small businesses and small business employees can shop for health insurance and compare health plan options, benefits, services, health providers, price and quality. There are also opportunities to receive tax credits, subsidies and cost-sharing reductions to receive the support and assistance needed to enroll in the new health insurance marketplace.
Since 1998, Healthy Community Alliance has provided help to people seeking health insurance by meeting with potential applicants, explaining the various options and insurance plans that are available to them, and helping them compile any required documentation and complete the application.
In August 2013 the New York State Department of Health awarded Healthy Community Alliance a five-year grant to provide navigation services to individuals and businesses seeking health insurance throughout Cattaraugus County. This program provides individuals and families who do not have health insurance, or those interested in exploring more affordable options, the opportunity to make an appointment with a navigator to help them.
Individuals, families and small businesses can explore their health insurance options, find out if they are eligible for tax credits and other financial assistance and enroll in a health plan that best fits their needs. A navigator can answer questions, identify required documentation, and assist with completing all components of the on-line application.
Our goal is to help people access the health insurance they need to protect their health and wellness and that of their children and families. To schedule an appointment and learn more, please call Southern Tier Health Care System at 716-372-0614 ext. 203 or email our navigators at cmalone@sthcs.org.
