Attention HIP/HMO participants
All active employees and pre-Medicare retirees who receive their health insurance through the HIP/HMO preferred plan or are switching to the HIP/HMO preferred plan as of January 1, 2019, should watch for two important mailings in December or early January: a new HIP/HMO “Gold” preferred plan membership card and a membership kit describing the new, improved HIP/HMO preferred plan. Active employees and pre-Medicare retirees who are HIP or other Emblem HMO or Point of Service (POS) plan participants will receive new PICA cards in December. Most PSC members’ prescription drugs are covered by the PSC-CUNY Welfare Fund, but injectables and chemotherapy drugs are covered by the citywide PICA program.
