Empire's Internet Site

Subscribers in the Empire Blue Cross PPO plan are encouraged to activate an account on Empire Blue Cross' web site which permits participants to more effectively manage their coverage. The site is called Empireblue.com and can be accessed directly at www.empireblue.com.

Empireblue.com allows you to access the following services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

• Check and resolve claims
• Research and choose doctors
• Change your phone number
• Print an explanation of benefits
• Request ID cards
• Update your address (If you update your address on the Empire Blue Cross site, please also update your mailing address change in IMIS with your Executive Office so that the change becomes permanent in both systems)

* IMPORTANT: If you update your address on the Empire Blue Cross site, please also request your Executive Office to update your mailing address in IMIS; otherwise, the IMIS address that the United Nations has on file will supersede your Blue Cross update in the next following month.
