NY State Health insurance plans

There are a wide variety of health insurance plans in NY state.  Even within a health insurance company there can be several different networks of providers.

Here is a listing of the available insurance companies and the different networks that they offer.  I am also going to give each network a rating from 1 to 10.  1 = least amount of doctors and hospitals 10= most amount of Doctors and hospitals.  These ratings are my opinion of the current networks available in NY state for individuals, small businesses and large businesses.  To put this information into context and for the specific service areas, you can contact me Cliff Grekin at 631-963-6020.  I have been specializing as a Health insurance broker since 1997, I have helped over 1500 businesses and individuals obtain health insurance in NY.
