Do individuals have to be residents of New York State to enroll in the NY Bridge Plan?
Yes, you must be a resident of New York State to qualify for coverage through the NY Bridge Plan. If you live in another state, you may apply for coverage in that state’s plan. An individual who was enrolled in another state’s PCIP and moves to New York will be able to apply for the NY Bridge Plan without having to wait six months or requalify. Applicants who transfer from PCIPs in other states have up to 180 days to enroll in the NY Bridge Plan.
