Empire BlueCross BlueShield to Mail New ID Cards in Early 2022
December 22, 2021
Beginning in early 2022, Empire BlueCross BlueShield will be sending out new ID cards to Active participants/dependents and Non-Medicare Eligible Retiree participants/dependents in the New York City District Council of Carpenters (“NYCDCC”) Welfare Fund. These ID cards are being generated and mailed as a result of new federal transparency regulations that take effect on January 1st, 2022. The new regulations call for health insurance holders to be provided more information about their coverage, including cost sharing pricing. Your new Empire BlueCross BlueShield ID cards will now include such information.
Please note that your ID number will remain the same and there are no changes to your coverage. As such, the card you currently have will continue to work if you attempt to use it. However, we recommend that you utilize the new ID card once you have received it. At that point, you should then discard your current ID card.
If you have any questions concerning your ID card, you can contact Empire BlueCross BlueShield directly by calling (844) 416-6387 or visiting their website at www.empireblue.com.
