Family Health Plus provides coverage to adults who do not have health insurance but have income too high for Medicaid. Parents and childless adults aged 19 through 64 are eligible if they live in New York State, have no health insurance and meet income and resource guidelines. There is no cost to apply for Family Health Plus and no deductibles once you are enrolled. Once enrolled you may be asked to co-pay part of the costs of some medical care services. Health care is provided through managed care plans. Family Health Plus will do its best to help participants continue to see their current doctor.
