Magazine's top doctors for eight consecutive years than any other area

- Comprehensive benefits: Prism members will have 100 percent coverage on
key health screenings; no member co-pay or coinsurance payments on
annual in-network preventive care visits; and no in-network deductibles
available for "first dollar" coverage, which is an insurance policy
that pays the full value of a loss, without a deductible, up to the
limit of the policy coverage.
- Health and wellness: Prism offers a standard comprehensive suite of
health and wellness offerings through 360 degree Health, one of the
most robust benefit programs in the industry to comprehensively address
preventive care, health improvement and care coordination. The
program includes access to fitness club discounts, vision care
services, access to a 24/7 Nurse Line, weight management programs, and
more.
- Affordability: Empire Prism plans are more affordable than most
comparable EPO/PPO plans in the marketplace.
"Empire's Prism plans provide small employers and their brokers with the simplicity of a single solution for their employees, with a breadth of choice that our clients have come to expect," said Wagar.
