Patient Questions
All Patient Questions Manhattan questions.
Does Wade’s Care First have an office in Manhattan?
No. Wade’s Care First is a telehealth practice. You join your visit by secure video from home, work or anywhere in New York, and Charles Wade, FNP-BC is licensed to treat you while you are in the state. Anything that needs hands-on care is coordinated with facilities in and around Manhattan, such as NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue (public; about 110,000 emergency visits a year), NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem and NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan (public), NewYork-Presbyterian: Weill Cornell, Columbia, Lower Manhattan Hospital and Allen Hospital campuses and The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West (Mount Sinai Beth Israel closed April 9, 2025; Mount Sinai opened a 24/7 urgent care at 310 East 14th Street; it is an urgent care facility, not a hospital emergency department).
Where will I go for blood work if I live in Manhattan?
Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp both run patient service centers in New York City. Hospital outpatient labs at the systems above also draw blood with an outside order; confirm acceptance before you go. We send the order electronically to a location that is convenient for you or in your insurance network. Results come back to us for review with you.
Which Manhattan hospitals have an emergency department?
NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue (public; about 110,000 emergency visits a year), NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem and NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan (public), NewYork-Presbyterian: Weill Cornell, Columbia, Lower Manhattan Hospital and Allen Hospital campuses and The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West (Mount Sinai Beth Israel closed April 9, 2025; Mount Sinai opened a 24/7 urgent care at 310 East 14th Street; it is an urgent care facility, not a hospital emergency department). For chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a major injury or thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than booking a video visit.
Are there community health centers in Manhattan for in-person care?
Community Healthcare Network (Washington Heights, Lower East Side, Harlem), Callen-Lorde Community Health Center (Chelsea; LGBTQ+ focused), Ryan Health (HRSA health center network), Institute for Family Health (Amsterdam Avenue, Harlem, West 17th Street) and Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (Canal Street / Chinatown) serve the area with in-person primary care on a sliding scale. Many patients pair that kind of local clinic with telehealth for follow-ups, medication management and specialist coordination.
Can I use New York Medicaid or other insurance for a telehealth visit from Manhattan?
Many plans are accepted and benefits are verified before your visit. BCBS / Anthem PPO, UnitedHealthcare PPO, UMR (PPO), Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, Humana PPO, Ambetter PPO, Fidelis Care / Ambetter (NY Marketplace), TRICARE. New York Medicaid is delivered mainly through mainstream Medicaid Managed Care plans (HARP and Child Health Plus enrollment is reported within those plans); 2,518,926 New York City residents and 5.6 million+ statewide were in mainstream plans in December 2025. The Essential Plan (New York’s Basic Health Program) covers adults under 200% of the federal poverty level with no monthly premium; a 2024 waiver that had extended it to 250% FPL ended July 1, 2026 after federal funding cuts, ending Essential Plan eligibility for the affected income group; those members may qualify for Qualified Health Plans with financial assistance. Free enrollment help: NY State of Health, 1-855-355-5777. Statewide Medicaid managed care plans reported by NYSDOH (2024 eQARR profiles, enrollment order): Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, MetroPlus Health Plan, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield HP, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Molina Healthcare of New York, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, MVP Health Care, HIP/EmblemHealth, CDPHP, Independent Health, Highmark Western and Northeastern New York; HIV Special Needs Plans: Amida Care, MetroPlus SNP, SelectHealth from VNS Health.

December 2025 NYSDOH enrollment report. Coverage varies by plan, and self-pay pricing is posted if your plan is not accepted.
Is Manhattan a health professional shortage area?
HRSA lists Medicaid-eligible population Health Professional Shortage Areas in Central Harlem (primary care score 15, mental health 15), East Harlem (primary care 10, mental health 17) and Washington Heights (primary care 14, mental health 14); Bellevue Hospital Center carries facility HPSA designations. Not borough-wide. Telehealth can complement local clinicians by offering another way to access primary care, mental health and medication follow-up while you keep your local relationships.
Can orders be sent to a laboratory or imaging facility near me?
When clinically appropriate, we can send orders to a laboratory or imaging facility you choose. Confirm that the location performs the requested test, accepts the order and participates in your insurance network. Availability and travel distance vary by community.

Good to know
Services, screening recommendations, testing, treatment options, referrals and prescribing may vary with your age, medical history, symptoms, where you are physically located at the time of the visit, state and federal requirements, insurance requirements, and whether your condition can be safely managed by telehealth. Conditions and services listed here are examples. An appointment does not guarantee a particular diagnosis, a prescription, a controlled medication, hormone therapy, a lab order, an imaging study, a sleep study, a specialist referral, an accommodation letter or a particular treatment. Treatment decisions follow a clinical evaluation and the provider’s judgment.

Getting care in Manhattan
Dense urban core of New York City; the borough with the strongest post-2020 population rebound, mixing very high-income districts with Medicaid-eligible shortage areas in Harlem and Washington Heights.
If you live in Manhattan, you already have more hospitals within a few subway stops than most of the country, but getting a routine appointment is a different problem. Public hospitals, academic systems and community health centers all run full schedules, and uptown shortage areas in Harlem and Washington Heights show how uneven access is inside one borough. A video visit lets you handle primary care, mental health, ADHD follow-up, skin concerns or a medication refill from your apartment or a break room at work.
Charles Wade, FNP-BC, sees you by video and sends any orders to a lab, imaging center or pharmacy you choose in the borough. You still need a New York location at the time of the visit.
Access in New York County (borough of Manhattan), New York City
Mount Sinai Beth Israel closed its 16th Street hospital on April 9, 2025, leaving lower Manhattan without that emergency department. An estimated 36.8% of New York County residents were enrolled in Medicaid (June 2015 to May 2016, United Hospital Fund). Transit: the borough is almost entirely reachable by subway and bus, but travel between clinics, labs and imaging still costs time during the workday.
Who this helps most in Manhattan
Telehealth fits Manhattan residents who are juggling long commutes, shift schedules or caregiving and cannot sit in a waiting room for a straightforward visit. It also suits people in Harlem, East Harlem and Washington Heights, where federal data shows shortages of Medicaid-accepting primary care and mental health clinicians. It is not the right choice for chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe shortness of breath, heavy bleeding or a mental health crisis; for those, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department such as Bellevue, Mount Sinai, Harlem Hospital or a NewYork-Presbyterian campus. Lower Manhattan no longer has the Beth Israel ED, so know which hospital is closest to you before you need it.
