Mission: Elderplan is a health plan with medicare and medicaid contracts. Elderplan started as one of the original social health maintenance organizations in the country. More than 30 years later, elderplan (which includes homefirst - one of the oldest managed long term care plans in ny state) carries on a tradition of compassion, dignity and respect first established by the four brooklyn ladies in 1907. Elderplan is committed to serving adults 65 and over and individuals 18+ with special needs, empowering them to achieve their greatest level of independence and quality of life through pioneering health care and social support programs.
Programs: A local not-for-profit health plan, elderplan (including homefirst - one of the oldest managed long term care plans in new york state) is committed to serving the needs of at-risk, largely dual-eligible, members of the community of all religious and cultural backgrounds. Carrying on a tradition of compassion, dignity and respect first established by the four brooklyn ladies in 1907, elderplan offers special needs plans to help beneficiaries receive the care coordination and health related services necessary for them to remain safely at home. As a not-for-profit, elderplan reinvests earnings to bring our members improved benefits. We believe that health care is more than caring for people. It's caring about them as well. As of 12/31/2016, elderplan (inclusive of homefirst) served 24,194 members across nyc, westchester, long island and monroe county.
