| Expat Type | Typical Coverage | DSRIP Relevance | |------------|------------------|------------------| | | Private PPO/EPO | Low – DSRIP primarily targeted Medicaid/uninsured. Expats with private insurance rarely access DSRIP-funded clinics unless uninsured or underinsured. | | Self-employed / small business | ACA marketplace (subsidized or full-price) | Moderate – Some DSRIP PPSs included FQHCs that serve ACA plans with narrow networks.
