Main feature: current plan checkup

Already have coverage? See if there may be a better-fit option.

Upload or describe your current policy, benefits, premium, deductible, doctors, prescriptions, and coverage concerns. Coverage Guide will organize a comparison and flag whether Medicaid, Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, NYC Care, QHPs, employer/COBRA, or licensed broker-reviewed options may be worth checking.

New in v1.0.21: production infrastructure prep

Before launch, database, staff auth, secure uploads, notifications, and AI/document processing must become real.

CoveredNYC now has a clearer production-readiness layer for PostgreSQL schema planning, internal route protection, secure object storage, notification event routing, AI/document guardrails, and current-plan comparison hardening — without pretending these systems are live yet.

New in v1.0.20: real-user production gap fixes

Before real users, confirm the launch blockers are cleared.

CoveredNYC now defaults to readiness mode, separates public and internal pages, adds noindex/sitemap controls, documents production database/auth/upload architecture, and uses safer eligibility-screening language until official program and broker review is complete.

New in v1.0.19: cleaner submission review

Before you submit, check whether the case is broker-ready.

The new before-submit review helps users catch missing contact consent, county, deadline, current-plan details, document type, doctor/prescription priorities, and upload warnings before the request reaches staff review.

New in v1.0.18: clearer next action

Not sure where to start? Get one next step first.

The new Today Next Step flow gives phone and tablet users one primary action first, then links to the right plan checkup, notice, document, public/free-care, callback, or broker-review route.

New in v1.0.17: phone and tablet polish

CoveredNYC is now easier to review on phones and tablets before deployment.

The platform adds a thumb-friendly mobile action bar, stronger phone/tablet form spacing, table scroll polish, tap-target improvements, and a dedicated device smoke-test checklist while preserving the approved logo, fonts, and colors exactly.

New in v1.0.17: deployment candidate audit

The platform now has a final QA layer before any deployment decision.

CoveredNYC now includes deployment candidate review, navigation UX audit, manual QA checklist, and user-flow smoke-test pages. These help verify the public journey, staff workflow, mobile experience, launch blockers, and brand freeze without changing the approved logo, fonts, or colors.

New in v1.0.15: whole-platform audit and command center

Everything now rolls up into one case-readiness and launch-readiness view.

CoveredNYC now has a full-platform audit, command center, route map, and case readiness summary so the public journey, staff queue, documents, current-plan comparison, provider/Rx check, launch blockers, and broker handoff stay connected.

New in v1.0.15: final production-readiness audit

Start Here, get routed, request a callback, and enter a broker-ready queue.

CoveredNYC now adds a final pre-deployment audit layer for mobile UX, homepage clarity, staff queue usability, launch blockers, and brand preservation. The approved logo, fonts, and colors remain unchanged.

Research-informed question logic

Not sure what to ask? CoveredNYC asks the next relevant question.

The deeper question flow maps household, income, county, current coverage, employer/COBRA, children, notices, public/free-care paths, doctors, prescriptions, and current-plan issues into a broker-ready summary.

New in v1.0.12: lifecycle readiness

Renewals, life events, employer coverage, and COBRA now get their own guided path.

CoveredNYC now organizes job loss, moving, income change, new baby, COBRA, employer coverage, renewal notices, and coverage end dates into a timeline, readiness review, and broker next-action checklist.

New in v1.0.11: Provider/Rx fit

Do not switch plans without checking doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions.

CoveredNYC now turns provider names, hospital preferences, prescriptions, and pharmacy needs into a broker-ready checklist so a plan can be reviewed for real-world fit, not just price.

New in v1.0.10: Coverage Action Plan

Finish with one clear plan: paths to check, documents, missing answers, and broker next steps.

This is the polished bridge from AI intake to real broker workflow. It turns a question, policy review, notice, or guided interview into a clear action plan for the user and a useful case summary for staff.

Independent & local

New York focused and community minded.

Guidance you can trust

People first

Built around your needs, health, and future.

For all New Yorkers

Inclusive help for individuals, families, and small businesses.

Broker transparency

We will disclose the license, NY State of Health certification status, and which carriers or pathways CoveredNYC can support. We will not claim to represent every plan unless that is true and documented.

Best-fit available options

CoveredNYC is designed to compare available plan and program paths using household facts, county, income estimate, providers, prescriptions, budget, and coverage goals.

Plan comparison help →

Domain strategy

Use CoveredNYC.com as the primary brand domain. Add CoveredNYC.org and CoveredNewYork.org as protective/statewide redirects if available. CoveredNY.org is optional defensive coverage.

County-aware intake

Coverage paths can change by county, household, income estimate, carrier availability, and program rules. The screener now treats county/region as a core field instead of making the site feel NYC-only.
