Uninsured?
Learn about Low-Cost Health Carevia Health & Hospital Corporation(HHC option)

Health & Hospital Corporation (HHC option) is a
program that lets uninsured residents of New York
City see doctors on a network with a sliding scale offees. We know that many low income New Yorkers
try to avoid big medical bills by going to theemergency room with their ailments as their
symptoms become worse, only to find that their bills,
increase. Mr. Yamauchi, an uninsured student,
asked JASSI for help when the pain in his stomach
became extreme. Eventually, he was told at hospitalthat he had appendicitis that requires surgery
normally costing $20,000. Thanks to the HHC
option, however, what he actually paid was $150,
less than 1% of the total cost with the City paying
the rest. If you or someone you know is uninsured
and needs this kind of information, please call JASSI
and ask for details about the HHC option.
