NEW YORK STATE — Individuals can still enroll in a 2015 New York State Health Marketplace plan and get health insurance coverage this year through the programs below:

Special Enrollment Period. To qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you must have certain life changes events, such as having a baby, getting married, losing health coverage, moving to NY State, or adopting a child. Individuals can qualify for a special enrollment period of (typically) 60 days following certain life events. Employment based plans must allow special enrollment periods of 30 days (giving individuals no less than 30 days of coverage while you switch to a marketplace plan).

Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP). There are no limited enrollment periods for Medicaid and the CHIP program. These programs provide free or low-cost health coverage to millions of Americans. You can apply any time.

Small Businesses. Small Businesses can apply for SHOP Coverage throughout the year. Small business owners may be eligible for tax credits to offset the cost of providing health insurance coverage their employees.
