About the Healthcare Bureau
The Healthcare Bureau protects and advocates for the rights of all Healthcare consumers statewide. The Bureau operates a toll-free Healthcare Helpline, 1-800-428-9071. We help New Yorkers with individual Healthcare and insurance problems; investigate deceptive business practices; take law enforcement actions to address systemic problems in the operation of the Healthcare system; and where appropriate, propose legislation to enhance Healthcare quality and availability in New York State.
