Northwell boasts a large award winning hospital system throughout Long Island, New York City, and Westcheter. If you live in the Huntington area or SW Suffolk in the Bay Shore area, you should know that Huntington Hospital and Southside Hospital are both owned by Nortwell Health. If you live in an area which only has Nothwell Hospitals, and the providers you use are only affiliated with Northwell, and you require them to be in your network then you should require that whichever insurer you choose have Northwell in their network. If you do NOT require Northwell to be in your network then you have more options. The only EPO available which includes Northwell is their own carrier, CareConnect. The HMO Affinity is an excellent inexpensive option as well, otherwise there are the more expensive HMO's EmblemHealth, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare.
The major benefit to EPO's is that you do not need referrals to visit a specialist. The HMO's tend to carry higher premiums (aside from Affinity), some with larger networks, and you need referrals from your PCP to visit a specialist.
