New York City's Public Hospital System
The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), the largest municipal hospital and health care system in the country, is a $5.4 billion public benefit corporation that serves 1.3 million New Yorkers and nearly 400,000 who are uninsured. HHC provides medical, mental health and substance abuse services through its 11 acute care hospitals, four skilled nursing facilities, six large diagnostic and treatment centers and more than 80 community based clinics. HHC Health and Home Care also provides health services at home for New Yorkers.

Through HHC Options, low and moderate-income HHC patients can get affordable healthcare. HHC helps patients apply for public health insurance programs for which they may qualify. If a patient is not eligible for public insurance, we reduce the patient's fee to an affordable amount, based on family size and income. For example, a child in a family of four whose annual income is between $51,626 and $61,950 can be seen at an HHC hospital or clinic for a fee of $15 per visit.

Financial assistance is available to New Yorker City residents without regard to immigration status. Of course, all information related to any patient's immigration status is strictly confidential.
