Health Insurance Education and Enrollment
Our Benefit Navigators help New Yorkers enroll in Medicaid, Child Health Plus, and Qualified Health Plans. Assistance is offered in English, Spanish, French and Chinese.
Benefit Navigators can provide the following services:
- community outreach, which includes partnerships with local groups and businesses.
- educational workshops and individual consultations about health insurance requirements and resources.
- helping clients compare plans, calculate costs in addition to subsidies and tax credits, learn about what public programs they’re eligible for, and ultimately enroll.
- removing communication and time barriers by offering assistance in several languages.
The Affordable Care Act makes health insurance available and affordable to many New Yorkers who were previously uninsured.
More than 6 million New Yorkers have health insurance through the NY State of Health, which is the official health insurance marketplace operated by the New York State Department of Health.
Assessment and Referral for Substance Use Disorder
Since 1997, we have conducted more than 800,000 assessments* for substance use disorders among welfare recipients in NYC. From that number, our team of Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselors (CASACS) has helped nearly 500,000 individuals by determining their best level of care and referring them to 400 different treatment providers. Despite significant challenges such as criminal history, homelessness, mental illness, and living with HIV/AIDS, our clients have been able to achieve recovery and secure employment.
Our partnerships with healthcare agencies let us employ mobile teams to offer patients on-site substance use disorder screenings, brief interventions, and referrals for treatment when they’re most likely to be experiencing negative side effects.
*Our primary funder for substance use disorders assessment and referral services is the New York City Human Resources Administration.
Our assessment and referral for substance use process includes:
- quick substance use disorder screenings for a slew of care settings, such as emergency departments, urgent care centers, community health, and mental health clinics, homeless shelters, single-room occupancy units, and supportive housing units.
- brief interventions for low-to-moderate risk substance use disorders through motivational interviewing, a short-term counseling method that helps individuals change their behavior.
- harm-reducing counseling and preventative strategies, such as overdose prevention and reversal.
- clinical evaluation by a licensed professional for high-risk patients.
- Substance use disorder treatment referrals to all modalities based on ASAM, OASAS, and SAMHSA placement criteria.

Life was terribly unstructured for me. I was struggling with addiction, mental issues, homelessness, debt, and my world was so toxic. I felt like I was going around an endless cycle of dead ends. I had no direction, no hope, and the people around me didn’t know how to support me nor had the time to as most of them were facing similar battles
Jamal came to NADAP in 2017 after witnessing the sudden death of his mother and falling into a deep depression and heavy substance use. NADAP created an intensive care plan for Jamal which included weekly therapy sessions. And after his first few sessions, Jamal told us he’s “feeling more optimistic than ever!
