General Messaging 

  • CHCs provide quality primary and preventive care services to all, regardless of ability to pay, insurance coverage, or immigration status. @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator Maintain critical funding in the NYS Budget for CHCs to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to healthcare services! #ValueCHCs 

  • CHCs are New York’s safety net and access point for healthcare services for many low-income communities and communities of color. Among CHC patients, 90% are low income, 68% are people of color, 13% are uninsured, and 59% are enrolled in Medicaid or Child Health Plus. @GovernorHochul and @YourLegislator If you #ValueCHCs then support funding for CHCs in the NYS Budget! 

  • Many New Yorkers, especially those who are uninsured and underinsured, rely on CHCs for life-saving healthcare services. Ensure that New Yorkers have access to affordable and quality healthcare by supporting funding for CHCs in the NYS budget! #ValueCHCs @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator 

  • Patients trust CHCs because CHCs hire staff from the very communities they serve. Patients and staff ride the same subway lines, frequent the same grocery stores, and have children who attend school together. Support CHCs by ensuring investments in healthcare workforce remain in the NYS Budget! @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator #ValueCHCs 

340B 

  • The 340B Drug Discount program allows safety net providers, like CHCs, to access pharmaceutical drugs at reduced costs and to reinvest savings to expand access to healthcare. Moving the Medicaid pharmacy benefit program from managed care organizations to the State will devastate CHCs who rely on 340B to fund otherwise unfunded life-saving programs. NY must #Protect340B by repealing the carveout @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator 

  • Uninsured and underinsured patients benefit the most from the 340B program. The pharmacy benefit carveout will lead to CHCs being unable to maintain critical healthcare services that rely on 340B savings. @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator #DontCutTheNet and #Protect340B 

  • Protect access to affordable and quality healthcare services for millions of New Yorkers by repealing the carveout @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator

Telehealth 

  • Telehealth is a critical access point to health care for many low-income and underserved communities over the course of the pandemic. Telehealth payment parity, regardless of modality and patient and provider location, is vital to ensuring CHCs can continue to provide remote care. Ensure telehealth payment parity in the NYS Budget @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator #ValueCHCs #TelehealthParity 

  • Telehealth increases recruitment and retention of healthcare workforce! CHCs report that the ability to offer remote working options has increased their ability to recruit new providers. Telehealth payment parity, regardless of modality and patient and provider location, is crucial to recruiting and retaining healthcare workforce. @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator #ValueCHCs #TelehealthParity 

  • Audio only telehealth has proven especially critical in expanding access to care for many New Yorkers without access to smartphones or camera devices and with limited broadband access. The NYS Budget must ensure that telehealth reimbursement for audio only and audio visual is equal to in-person visits, regardless of patient and provider location, so that CHCs can continue to provide inclusive telehealth services. @GovernorHochul @YourLegislator #ValueCHCs #TelehealthParity
