The GHI Comprehensive Benefits Plan (CBP) gives you the freedom to choose in-network or out-of-network doctors. You can see any network doctor without a referral. In most cases, when you see a network doctor, your cost will just be a copay. When you choose to use out-of-network doctors, payment for covered services will be made under the NYC Non-Participating Provider Schedule of Allowable Charges. You will be responsible for any difference between the provider’s fee and the amount of the reimbursement, in addition to deductibles and coinsurance; therefore, you may have a substantial out-of-pocket expense. This plan is offered to employees and non-Medicare eligible retirees and covers medical and surgical services. Hospitalization benefits are provided to you by Empire BlueCross BlueShield.

MOOP refers to the maximum amount of in-network cost-sharing expenses that you will pay in each calendar year for covered services received from Participating Providers under the GHI/Empire BlueCross BlueShield plans combined. MOOP includes deductibles, coinsurance and copay charge amounts that you must pay for covered in-network services and any applicable riders in a calendar year. Cost-sharing amounts attributable to services received from Non-Participating Providers generally do not count toward MOOP. Amounts incurred for non-covered services and other non-covered expenses, such as amounts in excess of plan allowances as well as any financial penalties do not count toward MOOP. Premiums and/or premium contributions also do not count toward MOOP. The MOOP amount may change from calendar year to calendar year.**
For calendar years beginning January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019** (Subject to indexing by the federal government)
