Who can help you get dental & health insurance?

NY State of Health-certified assistors and NYC Health enrollment counselors offer free enrollment help. GetCoveredNYC is another city resource for finding coverage assistance. Ask for help in the language you prefer.

What an assistor can help with

An assistor can explain application steps and coverage options and help with requested documents. Ask how to compare dental benefits and provider networks. The insurer or program decides eligibility and benefits; a dental office can help verify its own participation.

Prepare for the conversation

Your ZIP code and household details
Current coverage and your exact dental plan, if any
Income information the application requests
The dentist or clinic you would like to use
Questions about renewals, changes or missing documents

Start with the official assistor lookup or call NY State of Health at 1-855-355-5777. Ask before paying anyone who claims a fee is required for marketplace enrollment assistance.
