GIC Member Resources

Health New England is making some changes to your Plan. This amendment outlines changes to certain benefits and programs that are part of the standard benefit plan. Please read the information carefully and keep it with your membership materials for future reference.

Choosing a Primary Care Provider (PCP) is the first and most important decision you must make when you join Health New England. Your PCP is the first person you should call when you need medical care. Your PCP is responsible to coordinate all of your non-emergency health care needs. Having a PCP can give you a trusting, ongoing relationship with someone that will be involved in your care for a long time.

As a member of GIC, you are required to select a PCP. Here are two options to help you select a new PCP:

  1. Visit the Member Portal to access your account or to register if you haven’t already done so. Search our Provider Directory and select a new PCP online in the Member Portal.
  2. Call Member Services at (413) 787-4004 or (800) 310-2835 (TTY: (800) 439-2370), Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our representatives can provide up-to-date information on PCPs in your area.
