The Student Health Insurance Plan coverage is
provided through the Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield Deluxe Exclusive
Provider Organization (Deluxe EPO), a managed care program which
provides coverage for in-network services via an extensive group of
participating providers and hospitals.
Participants
in the Deluxe EPO plan may self-refer to any participating provider in
the network without having to obtain a referral from a primary care
physician. According to Empire, there are approximately 81,000
participating providers and over 200 hospitals in the Deluxe EPO
network in the greater New York, New Jersey and Connecticut region. In
addition, the BlueCard PPO program, which is available to Deluxe EPO
participants, provides access to health care outside of the tri-state
region via a nationwide network of physicians and hospitals
participating in other Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans. Given the
extensive local and national network of participating providers in the
Deluxe EPO, out-of-network services are not covered under the plan.
The
AECOM Faculty practices of the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics and
Obstetrics/Gynecology, as well as, the Weiler-Einstein and Moses
Division hospitals of the Montefiore Medical Center, participate in the
Deluxe EPO network and are available to students participating in this
plan.
