Connecting the uninsured to care: Engaging new primary care patients at a new York City safety net system
NYC Care patients demonstrated high utilization of outpatient services. Previously deferred healthcare may contribute to pent-up demand among uninsured individuals. In lieu of state or federal action, city-sponsored healthcare access programs may offer a pathway to care for uninsured patients, including undocumented immigrants. Future evaluations should utilize longer observation windows and external data to expand generalizability.
