Comprehensive Free Health Services Provided by the NYCFC

Free services currently offered by the NYCFC:

All of the following services are provided for free to all patients at the NYCFC:

  • basic primary care
  • patient education
  • disease prevention & screening
  • physical exams
  • women's health, including gynecological care
  • men's health
  • vaccinations
  • sexually transmitted infection testing (including HIV)
  • laboratory testing
  • radiology (including X-ray & MRI)
  • specialty referrals to all medical specialties
  • screening to help you qualify for Medicaid, Family Health Plus, or similar free public insurance programs

We can also fill out your physical exam forms for employment, college, or special programs.

If you need to see a specialist for further care, we will refer you to the appropriate clinic at Bellevue Hospital Center.  This will not cost you anything, even if you require such procedures as outpatient surgery or MRI.

 

Prescription medications

The only fee that may be associated with a patient visit is a small co-pay for prescription medications ($15 for generic medications; $40 for brand-name medications). Prescriptions can be picked up at:

88th Street Apothecary
1695 1st Avenue (at 88th Street)
New York, NY 10128
212-348-8500

Services we do not currently offer

We are proud to offer the most comprehensive free healthcare available to uninsured New Yorkers.  Unfortunately, there are a few services we do not currently offer at the clinic.  These include:

  • dental care
  • care during pregnancy (pre-natal visits)
  • care of advanced chronic conditions such as chronic heart disease
  • emergency room visits

However, we have provided a detailed list of other free and low-cost resources where you can find these services.
