Remember, plan ahead and take the 2021 “On the Road with The Empire Plan” with you. The updated version of “On the Road with The Empire Plan” is available through the health benefit administrator at your agency or can be accessed on NYSHIP’s website; https://www.cs.ny.gov/employee- benefits/nyship/shared/ publications/on-the-road/2021/ ny-ret-on-the-road-2021.pdf.
This publication includes contact and benefits information for Empire Plan programs that enrollees can reference while they are traveling or when their dependents are away from home.
Empire Plan coverage is available worldwide and not just for emergencies. Most parts of
The Empire Plan have two levels of benefits. If you use an Empire Plan participating provider, medically necessary covered services and supplies can be accessed with little or no cost.
If you use a nonparticipating provider, medically necessary covered services and supplies
can be accessed, but deductibles, coinsurance and benefit limits may apply.
The Empire Plan has nationwide participating provider networks. For assistance locating a network Empire Plan provider, call the
the appropriate program. The telephone prompts for Empire Plan programs are;
1. Medical/Surgical Program 2. Hospital Program
3. Mental Health/Substance
Abuse Program
4. Prescription Drug Program 5. Empire Plan Nurseline
(Registered nurses available 24 hours a day/7 days a week)
The Empire Plan’s Telemedicine Program, through LiveHealth Online, makes receiving health
care convenient when at home or traveling. LiveHealth Online allows Empire Plan enrollees and covered dependents to seek medical or mental health appointments virtually with no out-of-pocket cost.
Virtual visits with board-certified doctors (medical) or licensed therapists (mental health) can be held using a smartphone, tablet,
or personal computer. Contact LiveHealth Online at 1-888-548-3432, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If you plan to travel this summer, we encourage you to review the newest version of “On the Road with the Empire Plan.” Be sure to bring this document along with your doctor’s contact information and health insurance identification card(s) with you in case you or your family need medical care while away from home. Safe travels!
