POS PLAN: OUT-OF-NETWORK OPTION AT A HIGHER COST
When you stay in-network, the plan pays a higher benefit so you pay copays
without coinsurance, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. When you go
out-of-network, it’s a different story.

ID CARDS
•
Medical: Each enrolled member will receive an individual ID card from Empire BlueCross Blue
Shield. Registered users of the Empire website, www.empireblue.com/nyp, can find instructions
for printing a temporary medical ID card under Customer Support.
• Vision: Use your Empire BlueCross BlueShield card to access Blue View Vision care services.
•
Prescription Drug: CVS Caremark provides two prescription drug ID cards per household with the
name of the employee. Registered users of the CVS/Caremark website, www.caremark.com, can
print a temporary ID card using Print Member ID Card under the Plans & Benefits section.
• Dental: Aetna is paperless with no ID cards required for the DMO and PPO plans. Provide your
PPO dentist with the NYP Group #698173. Select a dentist for the DMO plan at www.aetna.com.
Columbia plan participants will each receive an individual ID card.

CHOOSING AN IN-NETWORK PROVIDER
When deciding on a medical or dental provider, it helps to stay in-network because
the plan has negotiated lower rates with in-network providers.
To find out if your current dentist is in the DMO or PPO network follow the
steps below. Note that, unlike medical, these are two separate networks.
1. Go to www.aetna.com.
2. Select Find a Doctor at the top right of the screen.
3. Under Not a member yet?, select Plan from an employer.
4. Enter the full name of your dentist and Zip code or city, state.
5. Select a plan: Dental DMO®/DNO (in-network services only) OR Dental
PPO/ PDN (in-network and out-of-network services).

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS
With a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can put aside pre-tax dollars
to pay for eligible expenses. By doing so, you reduce your taxable income and
increase your take home pay. You decide how much you contribute and you use
the money in the accounts to reimburse yourself for eligible expenses. The
FSA plan adminstrator is WageWorks, the provider of choice to many of the
nation’s largest and most innovative companies.
The “use it or lose it” rule applies to Health Care and Dependent Care
FSAs. If you set aside more money than you use in a given plan year, you
forfeit the unused amount. So be conservative when deciding how much to
contribute to an FSA each year.
• Health Care FSA: Contribute up to $2,650 per year on a pre-tax basis for
eligible, out-of-pocket health care expenses, including copays and deductibles.
• Dependent Care FSA: Contribute up to $5,000 per year on a pre-tax basis
for eligible dependent care expenses, including day care and elder care.
• Mass Transit FSA*: Contribute up to $260 per month on a pre-tax basis for
work-related public transit. NYP employees can purchase
commuter benefits for a spouse/
