Besides the question in the title, if you have experience or knowledge with CHP plans would you care to share? I'd like to know which plan is more accepted, if there is a difference in coverage and if there is a plan that with better customer service. Also, if you can answer same questions regarding Essential Plan plans that would be awesome! TIA

Boropark or something around Coney Island area. I would assume Maimonides for hospital. Thank you

For CHP I like Healthfirst because they don't require prior authorizations or referrals. Major headache reduction right there.

Essential plan is a whole different story and a really bad one. Seems like nobody takes it on any plan. I had Healthfirst also because of not needing referrals, but I'm finding a lot of people don't take it anymore. But other essential plans are just as bad I think. So many doctors take medicaid but not essential. I'm sure they have their reasons but it's so unfair to consumers.
