Health Insurance Education & Enrollment Program
NADAP receives funding from NY State of Health to help individuals, families, and small businesses shop, compare, and enroll in health insurance plans.
Our bilingual Certified Navigators can help you enroll in Medicaid, the Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, and Qualified Health Plans in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, and Russian.
We can provide free assistance with Medicaid and other health insurance applications and renewals by phone or in-person.

“When I needed help finding health insurance to cover my hospital bill, I turned to NADAP, and they were a beacon of hope. I scheduled an appointment, gave my information to a Navigator, and – the next thing I know – there’s a letter and a card in the mail. The process could not have been easier.”
– Karen, Client
