Empire BlueCross BlueShield Offers Special Programs to Eligible Welfare Fund Participants

May 14, 2014

NYCDCC members who are eligible participants in the Welfare Fund not only have medical coverage available to them, but they are also entitled to take part in special programs offered by Empire BlueCross BlueShield. Among the special programs that Empire BlueCross BlueShield offers are 24/7 Nurseline and Future Moms.

24/7 Nurseline is a program that allows eligible participants to call a hotline and speak with a registered nurse about a wide variety of non-emergency medical concerns. This hotline is especially useful if medical concerns arise in the middle of the night when doctors are not available, or if participants are away from their home and their familiar medical care providers are not accessible. This service is available in both English and Spanish! To use the hotline, call 877-TALK 2 RN. To learn more, please click the flier below.

Future Moms is a program that allows eligible participants access to a number of useful tools that are designed to help women have a safe pregnancy that results in the delivery of a healthy child. The program provides participants with a toll free number to answer all pregnancy questions, early pregnancy screenings, free booklets containing helpful pregnancy tips, access to specialists, and much more! To join this program, call 800-828-5891. To learn more, please click on the flier below.
