Welcome to the New NYSHIP Website

We’ve given NYSHIP a fresh new look and created a more dynamic, user-friendly experience to make it easier to find the information you need. Information is organized by simple topics, helping you quickly explore benefits and coverage, changes to coverage, and NYSHIP tools and resources.

The new site is designed with mobile-friendly access and accessibility in mind, so you can easily find important NYSHIP information on the go. Select your group and plan to see benefit information that applies to you, or continue without making a selection to explore general NYSHIP information.

Features and Enhancements

The new NYSHIP website introduces several enhancements for all users. 

Faster, More Current Information

The new site is built for improved page speed, so information loads quickly and is easier to access. A modern content management system also allows us to make updates more quickly, helping ensure that information stays fresh and reflects the latest NYSHIP news, changes and resources. 

We're also bringing more important, plan-relevant information directly to the website, reducing the need to rely solely on complex publication documents for information that can be updated and accessed online. This makes it easier to get the information you need, when you need it. 

Clearer Navigation 

We know health insurance can come with a lot of unfamiliar and complicated language. The new website is designed to simplify information wherever possible, starting with clear, straightforward navigation labels and descriptions. Our goal is to help you understand what a page is about and whether it has the information you are looking for before you dive in. 

A featured area within the navigation also allows us to highlight different resources and pages throughout the year, making it easier to discover timely information, updates and helpful tools.

Easier to Access

You can now explore general NYSHIP information without selecting a specific group or plan. This makes it easier for spouses, dependents and dependent survivors—or anyone who may not know the member’s group and plan—to quickly find helpful information about NYSHIP benefits and coverage.

Stay informed with articles covering specialized topics, news and updates about your plan, and helpful information about your NYSHIP coverage and benefits. Use filters to quickly find the articles that are most relevant to you.
