Insurance Programs

If you do not have health insurance, you may qualify for the following programs:

Medicaid

Medicaid is a program for New York State residents who cannot afford to pay for medical care. People may be covered by Medicaid if they have high medical bills, receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or if they meet certain income, resource, age or disability requirements. For more information, contact your county’s Department of Social Services.

Enroll at One of Our OB/GYN Centers

If you are a patient at Mercy OB/GYN Center or Sisters OB/GYN Center, our Medicaid advocates will assist you in submitting your application. When you come in for your first appointment, our advocate will walk you through the application process, from beginning to end. Once the application is complete, the advocate will deliver the application in downtown Buffalo for you.

Fidelis

Child Health Plus

Child Health Plus is a health insurance plan for children under the age of 19. Children must be residents of New York State. There are two programs: Child Health Plus A or Child Health Plus B. Family income will determine which program a child may qualify for.

Free Mammograms & Cancer Screenings

If you don't have insurance, you could be eligible for free cancer screenings. Services are available at most Catholic Health sites with enrollment in this program. Please call CSPWNY to enroll. Click here for details.

Children who are not eligible for Child Health Plus A can enroll in Child Health Plus B if they do not already have health insurance and are not eligible for coverage under the public employees’ state health benefits plan. For more information call (800) 698-4543.

Family Health Plus

Family Health Plus is a public health insurance program for adults between the ages of 19 and 64 who do not have health insurance – either on their own or through their employers – but have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid.

Family Health Plus is available to single adults, couples without children, and parents with limited income. Members must be resident of New York State and United States citizens, or fall under one of many immigration categories. For information, call (877) 9FH-PLUS or (877) 934-7587.

Enroll at One of Our Primary Care Centers

If you are uninsured, Fidelis representatives can help you apply for Fidelis in the waiting room of one our primary care centers. If Fidelis representatives are not available on the day of your visit, we can refer you to a representative to arrange for a visit.

EPIC

Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) is a New York State-sponsored prescription plan for senior citizens who need help paying for their prescriptions. New York State residents can join EPIC if they are 65 or older and meet income requirements. EPIC members will be required to pay fees, deductibles, or co-payments. Seniors who receive full Medicaid benefits or have other prescription coverage that is better than EPIC are not eligible. EPIC will not pay for medication dispensed by a Catholic Health pharmacy. For an application, call (800) 332-3742.
