How does Hudson Health Plan finance its services?

For each individual enrolled, Hudson Health Plan receives a monthly premium from New York State. Depending on their family income, some Child Health Plus enrollees are required to contribute a small co-premium toward their coverage. For Medicaid and Family Health Plus enrollees, no premiums or fees of any kind are charged for covered services. Because we are a not-for-profit organization, Hudson Health Plan has no private shareholders. This means that any surplus funds the Plan earns are reinvested in services and programs for our enrollees, and in the personnel and technology needed for future growth and continuous quality improvement.
