Office of Citywide Health Insurance Access (OCHIA)

The mission of the Human Resources Administration's Office of Citywide Health Insurance Access (OCHIA) is to expand access to health insurance for all New Yorkers. The office has two key priorities: ensuring that uninsured New Yorkers who are eligible for public health insurance programs (e.g., Child Health Plus, Family Health Plus and Medicaid) are enrolled; and expanding access to affordable health insurance for the City’s small businesses, sole proprietors, and working individuals.”
