What You Should Know about the Adjunct Health Insurance Plan
- Qualifying adjuncts will be offered the same health care insurance options for individual coverage offered to full-time CUNY employees through the NYC Office of Labor Relations Employee Health Benefits Program.
- Adjunct Health Insurance is individual-only, but family coverage is available for additional payment. There are no payroll deductions for your new health benefits coverage. Two of the options for individual-only coverage on the City program – HIP-HMO and GHI-CBP/Blue Cross – require no premium payment. Other options offered on the City plan require premium costs. Premium remittance for those who elect a family ”buy-up” and/or a more expensive insurance option and/or a rider will be collected monthly via electronic withdrawals from your designated bank account. Please refer to the rate sheet on the CUNY website.
- CUNY doctoral students are eligible for the New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP).
- The PSC-CUNY Welfare Fund provides supplemental benefits to all PSC members enrolled in City health plans. The Welfare Fund administers prescription drug, vision, hearing, and dental benefits and other benefits determined by the Fund Trustees.
