Coming Jan. 1, 2026: New Plan for City Employees

10/16/2025

As you should have read in an email from EmblemHealth earlier this month, New York City employees, pre-Medicare retirees, and their dependents will be offered the New York City Employees PPO (NYCE PPO) plan, a health insurance plan delivered through a partnership between EmblemHealth and UnitedHealthcare. This plan launches Jan. 1, 2026.

We have a website for providers and will be publishing updates there, but will also use this newsletter to remind our network in these final 11 weeks before launch. 

Please become familiar with this plan as there are geographic requirements that may impact your participation. The email and website both provide more details as well as what your practice can do now to ensure you can see NYCE PPO members after Jan. 1.
