Financial Resources for People Living with Breast Cancer
There are many financial resources to help people with breast cancer. The first place you can turn to for advice is a trusted health care provider. Physicians, nurses and social workers can all provide information and advice about financial matters. Hospital discharge planners, patient relation offices, patient service offices, social workers and patient navigators at hospitals or managed care organizations may be helpful too. For questions about specific insurance policies, state insurance agencies and insurance companies can be helpful.

Many state and national organizations provide information about financial assistance and insurance. Some of these are listed below along with resources to help with travel, lodging and medical items, including prescription drugs.

New York Bridge Plan
In New York State, the PCIP plan (the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan) is called the NY Bridge Plan, and is administered by Group Health Incorporated (GHI), an EmblemHealth company.
       To be eligible to apply, individuals must:

·         Be a legal U.S. resident;

·         Be a resident of New York State;

·         Have a pre-existing medical condition;  

·                                                                                                    and not have had health care coverage for the last six months.
The NY Bridge Plan covers a broad range of services, including primary and specialty care, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, and prescription drugs, as well as assistance from professional nurses and caseworkers to help members manage chronic conditions and maintain overall health. Eligibility is not based on income. Coverage for a pre-existing condition begins right away, with no waiting period. Health insurance coverage under this program is more affordable than what is currently available in the individual market. Through the NY Bridge Plan, premiums will be $362/month for residents of upstate counties and $421/month for residents of downstate counties.

Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. If the NY Bridge Plan reaches capacity, a waiting list will be established. If you need an application and brochure mailed to you, please call 1-877-444-9622 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting or toll free 1-877-444-9622 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
