Small Business
We understand that employers are concerned about protecting the health and well-being of their employees. After all, a healthy employee is a more productive one. Unfortunately, the rising cost of health insurance has prohibited many New York State employers from offering health care benefits. Healthcore is a solution that will allow you to provide more affordable comprehensive health insurance to your employees.

Students
If your coverage is through a parent’s health insurance policy, it may end when you graduate from highschool or college. You may be thinking, “I’m healthy, why do I need insurance?” When getting out of school, it can be hard to plan your financial future and budget for the unexpected—especially with student loans, rent and bills. Insurance can help you with unforeseen accidents and illnesses that could otherwise hurt your body and your wallet. It also allows you to get care when you need it, not when you can afford it. Plus, Healthcore includes preventive care even the healthiest people need.
