Member Convenience

Members can securely manage their health information on our Web site.

Members can also search for a doctor as well as view and e-mail an image of their temporary ID card using their mobile phone.

 

Physician Group Practices Offer Convenient Care

In addition to individual doctors, our network features physician group practices that enable multiple practitioners to work together on a single instance of care. The practices combine the personal experience of a doctor’s office with the leading-edge technologies you’d expect from a hospital. Other benefits include:

A full range of health services, from preventive and primary care to specialty care — often in one location

Extended evening and weekend hours and same-day appointments at many locations for routine medical care, with select locations also offering urgent
care centers

 

*Some services are subject to preauthorization.

**EmblemHealth cannot ensure that a particular vendor will remain in the program. These programs are not part of EmblemHealth PPO, and, therefore, are not underwritten by Group Health Incorporated (GHI).
