Eligibility
for adults (ages 19 – 64) in the Medicaid and Family
Health Plus programs is determined based upon family size and family income. As of January 1, 2010, the resource test (assets limitations) has been eliminated for Family Health Plus and Medicaid applicants, 19-64.
Eligibility for children (under Child Health Plus) and for
pregnant women (under PCAP) is determined regardless of family
resources (liquid assets). All pregnant women and most children
are eligible regardless of immigration status
Enrollment in a managed care plan is currently mandatory in
NYC. Managed care plans provide access to high quality primary
and preventive care services. Your facilitator enroller will
provide you with information on how to choose a plan that
best suits your needs.
When it is time for your enrollment in CHP, FHP or
Medicaid to be renewed, one of our facilitator enrollers will
be happy to assist you with applications and the renewal process for qualified New York State residents. Please call our office.
