Health Services is pleased to announce that Yalisa Lorenzo from the New York State of Health’s Essential Plan again will be on campus every other Tuesday beginning Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Siek Campus Center. No appointment is necessary. Her next visit will be on Sept. 19, also from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Many New Yorkers think they can’t get health insurance because it costs too much, but NY State of Health’s Essential Plan includes comprehensive benefits with no monthly premium and very low cost sharing if you qualify.
It has no deductible, so the plan starts paying for your health care right away. It covers comprehensive benefits, including dental and vision, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, prescription drugs and more. It also covers free preventive care like routine doctor exams and screenings to keep you healthy.
You can enroll in the Essential Plan at any time during the year through NY State of Health. More information can be found at the following link: https://info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/EssentialPlan.
When Yalisa Lorenzo meets with clients, she also supports them in accessing other needed services, including applying for food stamps, HEAP, home internet, etc. Even if clients do not qualify for the Essential Plan, they’ll get assistance applying for Medicaid, Medicare, or a qualified health plan that meets the Affordable Care Act requirement to have health coverage.
Drop by the Campus Center or CTR 270 on a scheduled Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for more information!
