EmblemHealth, Inc. · New York, NY United States

EmblemHealth is the parent company of two not-for-profit health insurance companies, Group Health Incorporated (GHI) and the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP). Collectively, the two health insurers cover some 4 million New Yorkers, primarily state government and New York City employees; the two companies cover upwards of 90% of Big Apple city workers and retirees. Both provide a variety of managed health plans to their members, including prescription drug and dental coverage, and Medicare plans. GHI and HIP joined together under the EmblemHealth banner in 2006, with the intention of merging into a single insurer that would convert to a for-profit, publicly traded company. To read the full description, subscribe now.
