Lab services reminder for Employee Health Plan of Suffolk County
Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.
The Employee Health Plan of Suffolk County only provides coverage for lab services at a hospital based laboratory when billed with a covered surgery. If a lab test is not in conjunction with surgery, it is no longer considered a coverable service from this a hospital based lab. Lab services should be directed to a participating free standing laboratory. You can identify Suffolk County members by the prefix CDK or prefix SUF on the member identification card.
