The NY State of Health is a marketplace of health insurance for individuals, families, and business owners. There are two types of marketplaces in the NY State of Health: The Individual and Family Marketplace and The Small Business (SHOP) Marketplace. The Individual and Family Exchange is the marketplace that provides tax credits directly to those being insured through the NY State of Health. Here, individuals can get insurance for themselves and their families and receive a premium subsidy if they fall within a required household income amount and their employer does not offer affordable coverage.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) does not require small employers to offer health insurance (small employers are those with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees). However, the ACA did create new options and incentives for these employers. Small employers can now purchase health insurance through the NY State of Health, Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). Bond Benefits Consulting is fully staffed to be able to support employers in all aspects related to the NY State of Health. From evaluating plan options to enrolling employees, all the way to managing the annual policy renewal, Bond is your NY State of Health advocate.
