Your Plan Changed in 2026. Your Care Does Not Have To.

On January 1, 2026, the GHI CBP plan was replaced by the NYCE PPO (administered by EmblemHealth and UnitedHealthcare) for in-service city employees and pre-Medicare retirees. It’s a true national PPO — and we accept it — so you can keep seeing the spine specialist you choose, with no disruption to your care. Still carrying an old GHI card? You’re covered the same way; we’ll confirm everything when you call.
