Contacting the Health Fund

We are working hard and committed to responding to all urgent requests. To limit COVID-19 from spreading, the Fund offices are operating both remotely and with limited in-person staffing. 

If you have an urgent request, the best method of contacting the fund is by fax. (To comply with HIPPA, we are unable to accept emails.)

There are many free apps like FAX App that allow you to fax documents from your smart phone. 

The Fund fax number is 718-786-6176. This number is forwarded to email and the box can never be full. 

Thank you for understanding. Together, we will all get through this.
