EmblemHealth is a company built on decades of tradition, serving our members and the communities in which they live. Along the way, we have had many names—and understanding our current company names can help avoid confusion and allow you to see more members.
It is important for your practice to understand and be familiar with our most current EmblemHealth company names:
- Group Health Incorporated (GHI) (now known as EmblemHealth Plan, Inc.),
- Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP), and
- Health Insurance Company of New York (now known as EmblemHealth Insurance Company).
Remind your appointment schedulers and insurance verifiers to use the Check Provider Network Status look-up tool in the Provider Portal under the Member Management menu to see if you are a participating provider for a patient.
When a member calls for an appointment and says their insurance is EmblemHealth, they should not be denied an appointment because your original provider agreement says HIP or GHI. Take care to verify their eligibility and, if their benefit plan is one you can accept, welcome them into your practice.
