FIDA Plan

FIDA is a new program in New York State for adults who have Medicare and Medicaid and need long term care. With FIDA, you get the benefits you have now and extra services - all from one health plan. You enroll in the FIDA program by joining a health plan that is part of the program. This kind of plan is called a FIDA Plan

FIDA Plan

A FIDA plan can make it easier for you to get all the care and medicines you need. You will have one plan for all your care and one customer service number for all your questions and needs. You will also have the support of a care team - a team of your doctors and other caregivers - to coordinate your care, making it easier to get your health services, home care and medicines. There is no cost to joining a plan and no premiums, deductibles or copays.
