Retail clinics serve as an alternative access point for basic health care services and may also be less expensive than some traditional primary care settings. This project will assess the current status of retail clinics in New York State and their potential for future growth. Particular attention will focus on State regulations and licensing requirements, which govern how retail clinics operate. The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (MI) will review the current regulatory environment, market conditions, and reimbursement policies to understand the barriers and leverage points for establishing retail clinics in New York State.
MI will produce and disseminate a final report synthesizing the information obtained from a literature review, a review of retail clinics in New York, and the recommendations of how retail clinics could be expanded to serve more New Yorkers. MI also will organize a conference in Albany to serve as a platform for the report’s release.
