Common questions

Questions about YWCA

Does YWCA accept Medicare for GLP-1 prescriptions?

No Medicare billing number or NPI is published for YWCA, so participation has to be checked directly. Billing Medicare would cover the visit, not the GLP-1. Call 585-368-3720 to confirm.

What kind of site is YWCA?

HRSA records YWCA as a permanent federally qualified health center service delivery site, in federal scope since 2020. REGIONAL HEALTH REACH INC operates it alongside 9 other listed locations. That is a federal registration, not a service list.

What are the hours at YWCA?

HRSA reports 2 operating hours a week at YWCA. That is a weekly total, not a daily timetable. Call 585-368-3720 for open days.

Where is YWCA?

Is there a sliding fee scale at YWCA?

Yes. Ask intake for the sliding fee application and bring income documentation for your household. The discount reduces what YWCA charges for the visit, not what a pharmacy bills Part D for the GLP-1 itself. Call 585-368-3720 if the required documents aren't clear.

Are there other REGIONAL HEALTH REACH INC locations near YWCA?

Yes — see the nearby-locations table on this page for the closest REGIONAL HEALTH REACH INC sites to YWCA and their distances. Sites sharing an operator typically share intake and billing arrangements, so a record started at one can often be pulled up at another.
