58 days until Medicaid work requirements start in New York. Some adults will need 80 hours a month of work, school, job training or volunteering, and some will renew every 6 months. Open every notice and answer it. Our guide: sunriver.org/insurance-chang… #Medicaid

Open enrollment for 2027 NY State of Health plans runs through Jan. 31. Enroll by Dec. 15 for coverage that starts Jan. 1. Medicaid, Child Health Plus and the Essential Plan take applications all year. Free local help: nystateofhealth.ny.gov #EnrollNY
A federal judge blocked CMS's "medically frail" definition in the Medicaid work requirement rule. For health center patients with serious illness, that means fewer forms between them and care. Work requirements still start Jan. 1. Our job: keep eligible New Yorkers covered.
Today is #340B Day of Action. For health centers, 340B savings go back into patient care, from affordable prescriptions to services for people who can't pay. HRSA's rebate pilot starts Jan. 1. Congress should pass H.R. 10770, the 340B Rebate Model Delay Act. @adv4commhealth

Two deadlines, 20 days apart: federal funding runs out Dec. 11, and the Community Health Center Fund expires Dec. 31. That fund is about 70% of federal grant funding for health centers. Congress should extend it, long-term, in the year-end package. #CommunityHealthCenters

Open enrollment for 2027 coverage is almost here. Marketplace premiums are slated to rise about 15%, and the out-of-pocket max climbs to $12,000 for an individual (KFF Health News). Health centers see patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay. kffhealthnews.org/insurance/…
New York's Attorney General estimates at least 475,000 New Yorkers could lose Medicaid once federal work requirements start Jan. 1. Health centers will keep serving them either way, but losing coverage means more people putting off care. #Medicaid cssny.org/news/entry/new-med…
The uninsured rate for adults 19 to 64 rose from 8.9% in 2024 to 11.2% in 2026 (Commonwealth Fund), before H.R. 1's Medicaid cuts fully hit. Health centers see what comes next: people putting off care until it's an emergency. #Medicaid ajmc.com/view/uninsured-rate…
70 days. That's how long until the Community Health Center Fund expires on Dec. 31. It's about 70% of federal grant funding for health centers. Our patients in the Hudson Valley, NYC and Long Island need Congress to extend it, long term, before the year ends. #ValueCHCs
Community health centers are the best buy in American health care. Medicaid patients who get their primary care at a health center cost 24% less overall and have 25% fewer hospital admissions. Investing in health centers saves money and keeps New Yorkers healthy.
So great to host @michellehinchey and @AnilBeephanjr at our Amenia site in Dutchess County to talk rural health and the need to support safety net providers like Sun River Health. Lucky to have these two champions fighting for our communities!

Medicaid matters, even if you’ve never used it.
It's one of the most powerful tools we have to improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and strengthen local economies.
Without Medicaid, ripple effects are felt by everyone:
◾ ERs become crowded as patients delay primary care.
◾ Costs rise when preventable conditions become emergencies.
◾ Local economies are affected, as health centers and other providers — often the largest employers in rural areas — face financial instability.
For every $1 invested in primary care, $13 is saved in downstream costs.

We could tell you what Community Health Centers mean to people. Or you could just hear it straight from our patients:
@GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, @AmyPaulin, @NYSenatorRivera: fund @CHCANYS's 150M State Share ask. These patients are counting on you.
