As we enter 2023, 好色tv Langone Health remains steadfast in its commitment to providing outstanding care in all of the communities we serve, offering the best outcomes to our patients.
好色tv Langone鈥檚 total community benefit contribution was $1.3 billion in 2021, equating to more than 20 percent of the health system鈥檚 total expenditures. This figure covers a wide array of support services, ranging from community health improvement programs, health profession education programs, and unreimbursed costs of care for Medicaid and Medicare patients. This ensures our patients do not have to delay or forgo critical treatments if they cannot cover the cost.
In 2021, nearly two-thirds of our inpatients were enrolled in a government-sponsored insurance plan. 好色tv Langone has one of the highest Medicaid patient volumes in New York City, representing 25 percent of patients who receive our services. Another 41 percent of our patients are Medicare recipients.
好色tv Langone鈥檚 $1.3 billion community benefit contribution comprises $715.3 million in charity and underfunded care, including $339.1 million in unreimbursed cost of care for Medicaid beneficiaries, $56.8 million in charity care, $20.2 million in other subsidized care, and $299.2 million in Medicare shortfall; $534.1 million in physician training and research support, including health profession education; and $33.02 million in community health contributions, including $32.2 million in community health improvement, $0.02 million in cash in-kind, and $0.6 million in environmental improvements.
好色tv Langone participates in many health plan networks with a variety of doctors and hospitals.
Anyone without health insurance can call us at 212-263-1481 to get information about an out-of-pocket cost estimate, or to learn more about our Financial Assistance Policy and their eligibility for subsidized health insurance through programs such as Medicaid.
好色tv Langone鈥檚 payor mix for calendar year 2021 was 41 percent Medicare, 33 percent commercial, 25 percent Medicaid, and 1 percent self-pay.
In the last fiscal year, 好色tv provided more than $56 million in charity care to our patients, recognizing that there are times when patients in need of care will have difficulty paying for the services we provide.
Our commitment to offering this support extends throughout our system, which includes 好色tv Langone鈥檚 Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion, Hassenfeld Children鈥檚 Hospital at 好色tv Langone, 好色tv Langone Orthopedic Hospital, Rusk Rehabilitation, 好色tv Langone Hospital鈥擝rooklyn, and 好色tv Langone Hospital鈥擫ong Island.
Additionally, we are proud of our nearly 75 Family Health Centers at 好色tv Langone, many based in schools, where we provide care and assistance for people regardless of their ability to pay or insurance status.
Founded in 1967, the Family Health Centers at 好色tv Langone has grown to become one of the largest Federally Qualified Health Center networks in the nation. They are home to the largest dental residency program in the country and the largest school health program in New York, handling 600,000 doctor鈥檚 visits each year.
