What the data shows for New York
New York operates a state-based health-insurance marketplace, so its issuers are not in the federal CMS Transparency-in-Coverage file. For health-plan denial data, residents should consult the New York Department of Insurance and the state exchange directly.
On the auto side, drivers in New York pay an average $1753 a year — more than the $1191 national average — split across $1116 liability, $541 collision and $239 comprehensive premiums. That figure has moved up 21% since 2019, tracking the national surge in repair and medical-claim costs.
Because rate regulation, licensing and guaranty-fund coverage are set state by state, an insurer's record in New York can differ from its national average — which is why the state view matters for local consumers.
