If you’re unsure whether your plan is covered under Medicaid or Medicare, or want to know how urgent care can help with your medical needs, AFC Urgent Care East Rockaway is here to assist. We’ll explain what patients should know about NY Medicaid programs and how our clinic can provide fast, affordable care.

What is NY Medicaid and Medicare?

NY Medicaid, also known as MassHealth, is a state and federally funded program that provides health coverage for individuals and families with limited income. Medicare is a federal program providing coverage for people over 65 or those with certain disabilities. Some residents may be enrolled in both programs.

According to MassHealth enrollment data, hundreds of thousands of NY residents rely on these programs for healthcare coverage. AFC Urgent Care East Rockaway works with MassHealth and Medicare to ensure patients have access to essential services.

MassHealth plans include traditional MassHealth coverage as well as managed care plans administered by approved private insurance companies. AFC Urgent Care East Rockaway is an authorized provider, making it easier for patients to receive care for a variety of urgent medical needs.

What healthcare benefits are included?

MassHealth and Medicare plans provide access to essential health services, including preventive care, lab testing, treatment for minor injuries and illnesses, vaccinations, and more. Our East Rockaway clinic offers most of these services for Medicaid and Medicare patients, often with low or no copays depending on your plan.

Before your visit, contact AFC Urgent Care East Rockaway to confirm your coverage and benefits. Remember, urgent care is ideal for non-life-threatening medical issues, but it is not a substitute for emergency care.
