ABOUT AMBETTER IN NEW YORK
Understanding Ambetter from Fidelis Care
In New York, Ambetter is offered as Ambetter from Fidelis Care, a product of Fidelis Care, a Centene Corporation company that serves more than 2.4 million New Yorkers statewide. Ambetter from Fidelis Care plans are Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) sold through the NY State of Health marketplace and are available across 56 New York counties, including Albany County and the surrounding Capital Region.
Ambetter from Fidelis Care offers plans across five metal tiers, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Catastrophic, each with different premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs. While the structure of each tier varies, all Ambetter plans are required by the Affordable Care Act to cover essential health benefits, which include mental health and substance use disorder treatment.
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, Ambetter must cover behavioral health and substance use treatment at the same level as physical health services. That means the same access, the same standards, and the same protections you’d expect for any other medical condition.
