Next Steps: Buying A Plan And Contacting Insurers

Once you identify a plan that you like you can contact a broker or the health insurance carrier, association or purchasing alliance offering the plan to further discuss your options and to enroll in the plan or a similar plan. NYC HI Link has provided you with a representative sample of the many plans available to you. Insurers and brokers can provide more detailed information about the plans and inform you of comparable plans that may not have been displayed here. It is important to note that while they do sell health insurance policies to sole proprietors, brokers do not sell individual (direct-pay) health insurance products. Individuals buying coverage on their own (e.g., unrelated to employment) should contact the insurer directly.

Contact information for health insurance carriers, associations, and purchasing alliances is listed below.

To search for a broker in your area, visit the National Association of Health Underwriters at www.nahu.org/consumer/findagent2.cfm.

If you are considering a number of different plans, you may want to consult our section on How To Choose A Health Insurance Carrier And Plan.
