Buying Health Insurance can be easier than it is now. There are many different types you can choose from. Although we focus on providing services to people who are eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, ADAP and other programs such as Patient Assistance Programs, we still have clients who either have or who want to buy private insurance.

For those who like to get the facts on their own and enjoy navigating through the dozens of potential sources of assistance, the City of New York has created a website that you can use to order school meals, as well as check out what type of city program you might be eligible for. They also have a section on buyinghealth insurance. Check it out at NYC.GOV. Or use the Request Information Link at the top of any page and we'll give you a hand (In New York City, New York State or throughout the country). There are also other languages (we can assist you in Spanish as well) available through ACCESS NYC as well, a section of the site, such as Ver ACCESS NYC

Education and Training help communities, health care and services providers, and individuals learn about programs and services. We're creating a library of fact sheets, reports, resources and internet links to inform, educate, and encourage collaboration and networking among communities and providers. If you'd like to receive printed materials or receive e-mails from time to time, please fill out this form. There is space to tell us whatever is important for us to know on the form. Thanks, and let us know of any good resources as well.

The Regional Resource Network Project (RRNP), funded by the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy at the DHHS is launching a National HIV Testing Mobilization Campaign, a national effort to promote HIV testing, policies and stigma reduction in minority communities. If you know of a conference, workshop, event, fair, convention, or non-traditional venues that may benefit from having an exhibition booth/table and/or speaker on HIV prevention, RRNP is interested in engaging civic groups, faith communities, businesses, organizations, and other individuals that don't typically talk about health issues, especially HIV prevention.

The Network is a national, not for profit New York city based organization that provides national services.

Patient Assistance Programs - Sometimes you must look for programs to cover the costs of your treatments or care. You might need to try a Patient Assistance Program. The pharmaceutical industry has set up programs that offer medications for free, or sometimes at a very low price. E-mail us for a specific drug or company's program. There are also other options we can suggest, such as savings cards or retail promotions at large chain stores. Specifics need to be worked out.
