About GetCoveredNYC

GetCoveredNYC is here to help you navigate the health insurance enrollment process and access culturally relevant health care in New York City.

GetCoveredNYC is a citywide outreach program housed within the Mayor's Public Engagement Unit. GetCoveredNYC works with partners like NYC Health + Hospitals, the NYC Department of Health, NYC Care, and community-based organizations to increase access to health insurance and connect New Yorkers to other programs and benefits that promote holistic health.
