Empire BCBS Connection Network saves you 20% on your small group health insurance

With the new Empire BCBS Connection Network, you can save 20% on your small group health insurance premiums compared to the Empire PPO/EPO Network. At a time when small business health insurance rates continue to rise, Empire BCBS has come up with the Connection Network. This network is tailored to deliver affordable alternatives with in-network access to the majority of key hospital systems in the downstate NY service area. It provides access to 70% of the same providers available in the more expensive Empire BCBS PPO/EPO network.

EBCBS Connection Network Features:

  • Global Coverage thru the Global Core. Access to international care in more than 190 countries with the Global Core platform.
  • EBCBS’s all-new mobile app, Sydney, makes it easy for members to keep everything they need to know about their health plan in one place.
  • Includes the top names in New York Healthcare including Hospital for Special Surgery, Northwell Health, NY Presbyterian, Westchester Med, Mount Sinai, and Montefiore.
  • Cutting-edge, convenient telemedicine is now $0 on all small group plans.
  • National access via BlueCard, Empire BCBS national PPO network when traveling outside the local service area. The BlueCard program allows access to 93% of providers and 96% of hospitals nationwide.

Empire BCBS Connection Network availability:

  • The Connection network is available in the 9 Downstate NY Counties of Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester.
  • Available to small businesses located in these 9 counties with between 1-100 employees.

Who should consider the Empire BCBS Connection network

  • Those who are looking to cut costs while still preserving an underlying quality network with access to many of the region’s top hospital systems and maintaining access to a national provider network outside your local region.
  • Those who are on more restrictive networks such as Oscar Circle and HealthFirst Pro EPO plans, especially on Long Island where those networks have limited provider reach.
  • Businesses that have high end plans with carriers like Oxford or Emblem Health who want the ability to offer a lower end plan to workers while not breaking the bank. Empire BCBS offers 3 networks to choose from, with the Connection network being their most affordable. They also offer more robust network in their Blue Access Network and their largest network the PPO/EPO network.

Empire BCBS allows you to tailor your business coverage to include plans in all 3 networks, so you can mix and match networks to tailor your coverage to your liking.
