Supports company’s growth strategy and goal of offering access to quality, affordable healthcare to more New Yorkers; follows recent expansion into Westchester County

Healthfirst will acquire Essential Plan and Medicaid enrollees of the Crystal Run Health Plan

 

New York, NY, July 9, 2019 – Healthfirst today announced that the New York State Department of Health (DOH) has approved its expansion into Orange and Sullivan counties in New York. The company has received approval to serve the Medicaid, Essential Plan, Child Health Plus (CHP), and Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) populations in Orange and Sullivan counties beginning August 1, 2019. This approval follows the company’s earlier expansion into Westchester County.

Additionally, as of September 1, 2019, Essential Plan and Medicaid enrollees of the Crystal Run Health Plan will be transitioned to Healthfirst. This will help fuel the company's expansion into these counties.

"This is an exciting opportunity as we continue to grow our business and serve a new geographic region," said Pat Wang, Healthfirst's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This growth is consistent with our mission to put our members first. For more than 25 years, Healthfirst has been serving New Yorkers and working across communities to understand their unique needs. 我們幫助開展以價值為基礎的醫療保健,醫院和醫生根據患者的治療成效請款,我們公司自創始以來堅信保險公司必須成為衛生系統中的真正合作夥伴。 This expansion is a sign of our commitment to New York State, as well as of our strength and stability."

"Orange and Sullivan counties offer Healthfirst an opportunity to bring our products and services to new members," said Errol Pierre, Senior Vice President, State Programs. "Our ability to acquire the Essential Plan and Medicaid enrollees of the Crystal Run Health Plan as of September 1, 2019, will allow us to expand quickly and effectively. The fact that all Crystal Run Health Plan doctors are in network with Healthfirst, as are many of the other physicians who participated in the Crystal Run Medicaid and Essential Plans, will make for an easy transition. We look forward to welcoming Crystal Run members, as well as to engaging more broadly with the mid-Hudson Valley community, which has been a hallmark of success in all the neighborhoods where we do business."
