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.<\/p>\n<p>You can enroll in the Essential Plan at any time during the year through NYS of Health. More information can be found on the\u00a0NY State of Health website.<\/p>\n<p>When Rebecca Stern meets with clients, she also supports them in accessing other areas of need, including applying for food stamps, HEAP, home internet, etc. Even if clients do not qualify for the Essential Plan, they are assisted in applying for a Medicaid, Medicare, or Qualified Health plan.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca will be on campus again on <strong>Tuesday, April 30, 2024<\/strong>.
