Financial Support

If you do not have health insurance, you can still come to Planned Parenthood of Greater New York.  We have Financial Counselors who will help you get public or private insurance or financial help for the services we offer. View more information in the FAQ below.

I don't have any health insurance. Will PPGNY still see me?

Yes. If you do not have health insurance, you can still come to PPGNY. We will help you enroll in public or private insurance, or help you access financial support for the services we offer. We can help you find out if you can get Medicaid, Child Health Plus, the Medicaid Family Planning Benefit Program, or an Essential Health Plan or Qualified Heath Plan. As Certified Application Counselors, we can help you apply for most of these programs through "New York State of Health," which is the Official Health Plan Marketplace where people can enroll in both Medicaid and the private insurance plans that are available through the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"). To learn more about the Marketplace, go to nystateofhealth.ny.gov or call toll-free 1-855-355-5777.

If you are not able to obtain any public or private health insurance, our centers may still be able to offer you a lower fee, depending on your income and the services that you need. No one will be denied access to services due to an inability to pay. We offer a sliding fee scale that is based on your family size and income.
