Counselor Locations by Borough
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to limit the number of people gathered in one place, in-person health insurance enrollment services will be suspended until further notice.
During this period, you can call for information or to schedule a telephone enrollment appointment. Our enrollment staff will continue to help New Yorkers sign up for low- and no-cost health insurance by phone. Help is available regardless of immigration status and in many languages.
