To find out if you can get public health insurance such as Medicaid or Family Health Plus, you and/or your representative must apply in person and be interviewed. If you want to apply for Medicare Savings Program coverage only, you have the  option of applying by mail.

If the coverage you need requires an interview but you are unable to apply in person, a relative, friend or any person familiar with your situation may appear for you. If you have no representative, you may request a home interview. For an application packet or additional information, call the HRA InfoLine at 718-557-1399 or write to: Medical Assistance Program, Correspondence Unit, 330 W. 34th Street, 9th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10001.
