Fidelis Care Career Events

A Fidelis Care StreetSide RV visited a Rochester shopping plaza in June to share information about NY State of Health’s recent eligibility expansion for The Essential Plan.

The Essential Plan now allows more New Yorkers access to high-quality, affordable health insurance. New Yorkers whose income is up to 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Line, which stands at a $37,650 annual income for an individual, may now be eligible for Essential Plan coverage.

The Essential Plan expansion aims to bridge the gap for those who may not qualify for Medicaid Managed Care but still need access to quality, low-cost health insurance. The Essential Plan is designed to help individuals and families who fall into certain income categories, providing them with essential health benefits, including a $0 monthly premium, no deductible, low out of pocket costs, dental and vision coverage with $0 copay, and free preventive care.

Fidelis Care’s trained and knowledgeable representatives – who speak more than 25 languages – can explain the Essential Plan’s costs, benefits, eligibility criteria, and enrollment process to people who need health insurance.

Fidelis Care Representatives are available by phone at 1-888-FIDELIS (1-888-343-3547), online at fideliscare.org, as well as at more than 20 Community Offices and dozens of StreetSide RV locations throughout the state.
