Q&A

Epstein asks about SHOW program enrollment

New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 0:49:36 · 1 min 16 sec

Epstein asks how much NYC Care enrollment happens through the SHOW program and how H&H partners with it. Long notes he helped start SHOW in 2021 and that it is expanding 50% this year.

Harvey D. Epstein

Yeah, no, I really do appreciate it, but it would be great if you could follow up with that data.

Harvey D. Epstein

I would love to figure out how you do enrollment through the show program, like how much of enrollment in New York Cares happens through show and how you would partner with them to ensure that enrollment happens.

Dr. Ted Long

Yep.

Dr. Ted Long

So by way of background, my team and I also started the show program in the spring of 2021.

Harvey D. Epstein

Yeah, I know we talked about it back at Bellevue back in the day when it started.

Dr. Ted Long

I remember, yes.

Dr. Ted Long

We're still here.

Dr. Ted Long

And actually this year we're expanding the show program by 50% in terms of the units we have out every day.

Dr. Ted Long

So actually, do you want to take that about show and NYC Care Enrollment?

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

I think I actually have to follow up with you.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

I don't know.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

So as we discussed, financial counseling and the health insurance screening process is the crux of enrollment in 10YC care or health insurance.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

Right.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

And I don't know if as a part of the show vehicles, they include a financial counselor.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

Certainly, telephonically, as we already talked about, they could be connecting folks.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

And I know that's a part of.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

all of our processes.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

So I'm almost certain that they're doing that.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

But the issue might be about whether they have someone in person.

Harvey D. Epstein

Yeah, I would love to know why they're doing it.

Harvey D. Epstein

And if they're not, why they're not doing it.

Harvey D. Epstein

That might be helpful for us to have that information.
