We want to continue to encourage people to obtain coverage and benefit from being insured.” NY State of Health was created as part of the federal Affordable Care Act. The goal is to make sure all New Yorkers have health insurance. All participating health plans offer standardized products, making them easy to compare. The products are organized by metal levels: platinum, gold, silver, bronze, catastrophic, and child-only. Each metal level offers the same coverage but with different premiums, deductibles, and levels of cost-sharing. The Fidelis Affordable Care Advisor can quickly estimate the cost of coverage, including government subsidies and tax credits. Found on the homepage of Fidelis Care’s website, fideliscare.org, the Affordable Care Advisor only needs basic information to calculate an estimated monthly cost. It will also let individuals know if they may qualify for Medicaid. BUY DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER Nobody Beats Our Prices! FREE Measuring & Installation w/purchase of $100. with this ad.
