I’m in NYC if that’s helpful to know and have been on Healthfirst Medicaid for the past year. My coverage ends on September 30th and have been getting emails regarding renewing and actually set up a phone call to renew with a rep on September 1st. Yesterday I got an email from NY state of health (the portal where I initially searched for and signed up for Healthfirst) saying I’ve been dis-enrolled from Medicaid and now enrolled in the Healthfirst essential plan 1.

I understand that all this insurance stuff is dependent on my income, but my income has not changed at all so I’m confused on how they’re doing all of this without me providing updated income or pay stubs. If possible I would like to stay on my current Medicaid plan because I feel I’m still eligible. I find it strange that Healthfirst is still emailing me about renewing when it says I’ve already been enrolled and this feels like a lot of mixed messages.
If anyone can help or provide some insight I’d appreciate it!

Question from someone who has zero idea of how the nypd or the academy works. My partner received an email to join the academy class starting 7/22 and also to schedule a day for medical I’m assuming that’s physical and psychological as well. We have had a family trip out of the country booked for about a year now, way before he even took the nypd exam, but that trip gets back on 7/25. Is there any possible way he would be allowed to miss the first 3 days of the academy without having to wait until the next class? (I’m assuming that’s in January) we’ve tried calling the candidate relations number but no one ever picks up. Also, how long is the medical process typically, and when would one find out if they will in fact be joining the next academy class?

I’m aware that this is a career that requires sacrifices, but I’d like to know all the information before having to deal with him potentially missing the trip, so please be kind in the comments. Thank you!
