No One Knows New Yorkers Better Than We Do

For more than 30 years, Healthfirst has been serving New Yorkers. We helped pioneer the value-based healthcare model—where hospitals and physicians are paid based on patient outcomes—because our company was founded on the belief that insurers need to be true partners in the health system.

We’ve grown into New York’s largest not-for-profit health insurer, offering high-quality, affordable plans to fit every life stage, including Medicaid plans, Medicare Advantage plans, long-term care plans, Qualified Health plans, and Essential Plans. We proudly serve members in New York City and on Long Island, as well as in Westchester, Sullivan, Orange, and Rockland counties.

Good Health Takes Community Commitment

From neighborhood health fairs to local youth sports’ sponsorships through TeamSnap, it takes dedication to community relationships to make access to healthcare better for New Yorkers. We strive to help our members navigate the healthcare system, and we work in partnership with hundreds of local organizations to promote healthier, active communities.
