Finding Low Cost Health Insurance In New York

You may have been fortunate enough to work your way through college, but now that you need health insurance, you might feel as though your hours of studying are coming back to haunt you. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Finding low-cost health insurance in New York is easier than ever!

There are four major steps towards finding the right coverage plan for you:

1) Research what's available and pick two or three plans to compare side by side

2) Answer questionnaires about your lifestyle and medical history (this will likely take a few hours) 

3) Take a trip to the nearest state healthcare office (in New York these are generally EDD offices within one of the DHS offices).

4) Sign up for a plan

There are a few things that you should keep in mind before beginning any of this:

1) EDD offices generally require all people to go through the initial eligibility process, so it will take time to get to your actual plan selection. 

2) You might need to provide documentation (such as police reports or letters from doctors) so you can get into some Medicaid programs. 

3) Once you find a plan, review it with the professionals at our office if you want us to look over it for you. While we cannot give out advice, we can make sure your benefits are what you expect and that any cost-sharing requirements don't exceed what is reasonable.

You may want to look into our Medicaid Program, as it is tailored to your needs and offers a low cost option.

Conclusion

Although hemp seed itself does not contain significant amounts of THC, it is important to be aware of the dangers of cross-contact and cross-contamination. Despite the fact that hemp seeds are safe for human consumption, there is much misinformation on the internet about this issue and I hope this blog has helped clarify any concerns you may have had regarding potential health effects related to possible marijuana exposure via hempseed products.
