Each year, employees who are enrolled in the New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP) may select a different health plan by completing change forms in the Employee Benefits Office, Cleveland Hall 410. Employees may choose from the Empire Plan or one of the two health maintenance organizations: Community Blue or Independent Health.

Employees will have 30 days from the date the 2013 rates are approved and published to change their health insurance carrier. The New York State Employee Benefits Division will mail information about the new health plan rates and deadline dates to enrolled employees' home addresses. "Choices," a comparison booklet of the insurance plans, will be available on the Human Resource Management website and in the Employee Benefits Office by late November.
