Corporate culture
While being surrounded by a bunch of people who think insurance is cool is its own reward, we have plenty more to offer. EMC is committed to creating a culture where our team members feel connected, inspired, and empowered. Moreover, we recognize that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are fundamental to our success. That’s why we celebrate our differences—because we know they make us stronger.

Important things to know about EMC health benefits
Pursuant to the HHS, DOL and Treasury Final Transparency in Coverage Rule, the machine-readable files below include in-network negotiated payment rates and historical out-of-network charges for covered items and services.
The No Surprises Act
The No Surprises Act passed by Congress as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 is designed to protect patients from surprise bills for emergency services at out-of-network facilities or for out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, holding them liable only for in-network cost-sharing amounts. The No Surprises Act also enables patients to receive a good faith estimate of the cost of care. The notice below provides more information on patient rights and protections.
