Health, Dental & Vision Plans
Welcome to your Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber guide to Health, Dental and Vision Plan offerings. These plan options are one of the most tangible benefits of your Chamber membership.
HealthPass New York is an independent health insurance exchange which allows businesses with between 2 and 99 employees to offer a range of health plan options. In Westchester and South, both Oxford and CareConnect are offered, in Putnam and North, a variety of options from Oxford are offered.
Employees can also choose from a menu of supplemental employee benefits including Dental, Vision, and a bundled Life and Long Term Disability security product.
Unlike other carriers, which require a higher percentage of employee participation in their plans, HealthPass counts any employee who already has coverage towards participation.

- Greater Choice - With up to 18 plans from two major insurance providers in most markets.
- Simplified Administration - One form handles employee enrollment, termination, waiver and COBRA/State Continuation of Coverage. One itemized bill is sent to employers for all lines of coverage.
