At EmblemHealth, we know that nothing is more important than access to quality doctors and health care facilities. Doctors who have specialized expertise. Doctors affiliated with great hospitals. Doctors who speak your language.

That is why we work hard to attract and keep the best doctors and hospitals in each network.

You can select a network that includes our physician group practices. They offer on-site labs and radiology, primary care physicians and specialists who work together, and a full range of commonly used health services, providing coordinated care at one convenient location.

We also know that quality health coverage means helping to keep you healthy, not just providing coverage when you are sick.

That is why all of our EmblemHealth plans cover preventive care and offer a broad range of resources for living a healthy life or coping with a chronic medical condition. With online tools and resources to help you better understand and manage your health, to incentives for healthier living, we work hard to keep you healthy.

At EmblemHealth, we respect the fact that different people have different needs when it comes to their health care. Some people place the highest priority on flexibility and the freedom to see any doctor. Others don't use their health care coverage very often and want an affordable option that provides peace of mind.

That is why we have developed a range of products offering greater flexibility in benefit and pricing options to best match your individual needs and health care priorities.

Ask several people to define "affordable," and you're likely to get different answers. That is why EmblemHealth has created a range of plan options that fit many definitions of affordable, including plan options with no copay for children and no copay for generic medicines. But all EmblemHealth plans have something in common: all strive to deliver value for every health care dollar.

At EmblemHealth, access to quality health care means being able to visit a doctor or medical facility near where you live or work. It means being able to get an appointment with a doctor at a time that works for you.

That is why our National Network includes:

• More than 106,000 physicians and other health care professionals at nearly 172,000 locations in the New York tristate area
