Health Insurance and Billing

The New York City Health Department asks for a fee for Sexual Health Clinic services given to adults (age 19 and over).

You will not be asked for proof of family size or yearly income. No payments will be collected at the clinic. See links below for more details.

If you do not have insurance or cannot pay the fee, you can still get services.
