Listen to this article

Home and community-based nonprofit has received approval from the New York State Department of Health to expand its health plan offerings into Monroe and Erie counties, effective May 1.  

Offerings include VNS Health Total, an integrated Advantage Plus (MAP) plan created specifically for New Yorkers with long-term care needs who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid; EasyCare Plus for those eligible for Medicaid and Medicare without long-term care needs, and EasyCare for Medicare beneficiaries. 

All of the newly available plans are built on VNS Health’s mission to improve the health and well-being of people through high-quality, cost-effective health care in the home and community.  

They include simple and accessible comprehensive care management that is aimed at helping older adults and people with chronic illness or disabilities live their best possible lives.  

VNS Health Total earned the New York State Department of Health’s highest Quality Incentive rating in 2024 and is the only 5-Star MAP plan available in New York state. 

“Helping people live healthier, more independent lives is what our plans are all about,” said Patricia Deferio, vice president for Upstate Health Plans at VNS Health. “Our integrated health plans make health care simpler and easier to access, so people can stay active in their communities and live their best lives.”
