NYC Care
In New York City, you have the right to guaranteed health care.
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from: if you live in New York City, you have the right to have your own doctor and access to medication 24/7 to keep yourself and your family healthy. With NYC Care, New Yorkers will be able to access a broad range of services provided by any of the 70 patient care locations, including 11 hospitals and dozens of community-based health centers, of NYC Health + Hospitals, the nation’s largest public health system.
NYC Care is not health insurance. It’s a health access program for New Yorkers who are not eligible for insurance or cannot afford insurance based on federal guidelines. NYC Care is now available in all 5 boroughs.
Access to a doctor—whenever and wherever you need it!
MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is the fast, easy way for our members to see a provider for common physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues that are not emergencies. MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is available anytime, from anywhere in New York State, 24/7 – and in your language.
GREAT NEWS: STARTING JANUARY 1, 2023, METROPLUSHEALTH MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE THEIR DENTAL BENEFITS FROM DENTAQUEST.
Know your rights and protections against surprise medical bills!
When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.
