Health Insurance

If you have health insurance, you are able to use this insurance to obtain psychiatric evaluation, and long term services from a community mental health center by calling your health insurance provider.

If you do not have health insurance, it is recommended that you visit the Student Health Center they hosts a health insurance advisor to assist students in obtaining Family Health Plus insurance (a free state-wide program of Medicaid) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In order to be eligible for Family Health Plus. To learn more about Family Health Plus and other medical insurance, please visit the Student Health Center website.

Low Cost Health Insurance

The Health Information Tool for Empowerment (HITE) is an online directory of health and social services specifically for low-income, uninsured and under-insured New Yorkers. With the click of a mouse, HITE connects you to a broad array of health and support services.

Free Clinics for the Uninsured

The Institute for Family Health operates two free clinics for the uninsured in partnership with students from two of New York’s premiere medical schools. Students are supervised at all times by senior physicians.

The free clinics are open on Saturday mornings, offering medical care, health education, and social work services for ADULTS. Social workers will enroll children in CHIP (Child Health Plus) and will try to obtain insurance for adults. Make an appointment to see a social worker.
