New York State verifies Medicaid enrollment each year between January 1st and February 15th. We ask all Open Care Community patients who participate in the low-cost appointments to show us their updated enrollment status between February 15th and March 15th. This is done by showing us a copy of their enrollment verification letter, not their Medicaid card.

New York State verifies SNAP benefits on an ongoing basis. We time our verification with the medicaid enrollment period and ask all patients participating in the low-cost appointments to show us their active SNAP enrollment between February 15th and March 15th. This is done by showing us a copy of their SNAP dashboard, not their SNAP card.
