Narcisse and Jimenez on enrolling uninsured patients at hospitals

So my follow-up.

Yes.

So if someone come in a hospital, they don't have any insurance at all.

So right there, they can be assessed right there.

They don't have.

So how do we promote for folks to just come and find out?

Like, where are you at?

Yeah, as Dr.

Long said, the goal is to connect every single New Yorker to health care.

And we want to make sure that if they're eligible for insurance, we enroll them.

And so that's the first step.

But it's not a barrier.

We always tell people in the community, our community organizations, anyone that we get in touch with, come to us.

If you need care, we will not turn you away.

We will take care of you no matter what, no matter your immigration status or your income.

And we'll figure out the process of applying for health insurance at the same time in parallel.

These pathways are for people who are having the forethought, they're planning, right, they're calling, they already know they want a primary care appointment.

Well, we can start that process.

As they have those documents available.

So basically, if you call on the phone, you want to be seen by a doctor, so their role, or whoever received calls, however, is to come in, we'll care for you, and we'll find out whatever else.

And in fact, when you call our call center, before you complete the process of enrollment, they ask you,

where and when you would like to make your primary care appointment.

Because the point is, can we get folks connected to primary care?

Every single New Yorker, that's the goal.

Thank you.

So if you remember one thing from Dr.

Jimenez and me today is, however many numbers it is, 10 numbers.

646-NYC-CARE is the one number to remember, the one number you can share with everybody.

It's the one-stop shop for everything we're going to talk about today.

Six foot.

You can repeat it again for people watching to know that.

646-NYC-CARE.

Okay, we're promoting it.

We have been joined by CM Sanchez.
