Quite literally the worst hospital I ve been too! I went in yesterday because I have RSV and it was affecting my asthma extremely badly and I was extremely short of breath. They didn t listen to a word I said as to why I was there and had told me when discharged I will be sent Motrin and Tylenol and a nebulizer for my asthma I called the pharmacy to give my insurance info and they told they didn t send the nebulizer. Completely unprofessional and ridiculous to not give asthmatic patients proper treatment to go home with. Never going again. The hospitals in Brooklyn suck.

Accepted Insurance

Interfaith Medical Center – Atlantic Avenue works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Called at 10:00am today to verify the authenticity of a doctor's note issued by the IMC Emergency Department. The ER doctor rudely and repeatedly insisted it is a HIPAA violation to verify the authenticity of a doctor's note (it isn't), yelled over me, and hung up. I called back twice, and the same thing happened.I'm not sure who is training the doctors here, but common sense would tell anyone that there's no point in giving out a doctor's note if the hospital isn't legally allowed to verify its authenticity. If their ER doctor's don't know the basics of the HIPAA privacy rule, I'm curious as to what else they don't know.

I recently had two tooth extractions done in the Dental part of InterFaith Medical Center, on the 31st, of October 2024 . This was my second visit at this location. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The area is very clean and well kept. The resident physician that performed the extraction was Gabriel Carberry DMD. His personality was upbeat and pleasant, a breath of fresh air for anyone who is frightened of the dentist. This was also the first time in my life that the needle used for numbing the gums didn't hurt at all. He was very gentle & very thorough. This was the best experience I've ever had going to the dentist.
