    Why Healthfirst

    We've been helping New Yorkers of all ages and incomes get access to affordable, quality health insurance for 30 years. And we can help you, too. Healthfirst has the largest Medicare Advantage membership in the NY metropolitan area, including New York City, Nassau, Westchester, and the Lower Hudson Valley.4

    4Based on June 2022 CMS Medicare Advantage/Part D Contract and Enrollment data, excludes EGHP and ISNP.

    Who Qualifies for OTC

    Depending on your plan, you will receive an OTC Plus/OTC card with a maximum limit for purchasing approved over-the-counter (OTC) non-prescription drugs and health-related items at participating pharmacies and retailers. In the case of CompleteCare you can also buy home fitness equipment and activity trackers. For those CompleteCare members who are eligible you can also buy healthy foods and pay home utility bill(s)*. Life Improvement Plan members can also use their OTC Plus card for personal emergency response systems (PERS). In the case of Signature (PPO), you receive a $725/year Flex card that can be used for dental, vision, and hearing out-of-pocket costs.

    Updates to Medicare Savings Program

    It’s now easier than ever to qualify for help paying your Medicare expenses. New York State expanded the Medicare Savings Program (MSP) by raising the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) eligibility requirement. That means Medicare members with higher incomes can now qualify. MSP helps pay for your Medicare premiums and lower your drug plan costs. Depending on your income, the MSP may also pay for other cost-sharing expenses—with an average savings of up to $7,000/year!
