Belmont Deserves Better Healthcare
Specialty coordination, on-site lab, and Medicaid support for Belmont residents.. Moses Medical is 20 min by bus, 12 min drive from Belmont.
Close to Hospitals, Far from Specialists
Belmont sits near some of the Bronx’s largest hospitals, but proximity to a hospital does not mean access to outpatient specialists who accept Medicaid. Residents needing a cardiologist, weight management provider, or wound care specialist still face waitlists measured in months.
Moses Medical is a straight ride south on the Bx17, which runs from Belmont down Crotona Ave to Prospect Ave and Westchester Ave. We see new patients the same week they call, take MetroPlus, Fidelis, Amerigroup, and WellCare along with several other Medicaid managed care plans, and have an on-site lab so bloodwork gets done during your appointment. For Belmont residents managing diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight, that combination means fewer missed appointments and fewer conditions left to worsen between visits.
Our weight loss program prescribes GLP-1 medications, and the care team can start the prior authorization paperwork and talk through what your plan covers. Our primary care team coordinates diabetes management with wound care planning and on-site A1C monitoring.
