Health Care in New York City

There have been tremendous changes in the health delivery systems and services available to New York City residents, including the increasing role of Managed Care in the private and public sectors. The Comptroller's Office is monitoring these changes and working to influence the developing financing and delivery systems. We have worked on projects related to Medicaid Managed Care, privatization of the public hospitals, school health services, and the impact of the City and state budget on services for the sick and elderly.

The Office will continue monitoring these issues. We will pay special attention to their impact on care for the uninsured, consumer protection in the implementation of Medicaid Managed Care in the City, the financial viability of HHC and other safety net providers, health care costs for New York City employees, and the quality and cost-effectiveness of Medicaid funded home care.
