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.
