The 1199SEIU Benefit Funds are some of the largest self-administered labor-management Taft-Hartley funds in the nation, providing health coverage for 230,000 union members and their families. Our members work in more than 540 institutions in the greater New York metropolitan area, Hudson Valley, Long Island and upstate New York.
We are a Preferred Provider Organization, not an HMO or insurance company. Our priority is ensuring quality care for 1199SEIU members and their families. We are always looking for new, skilled providers. Please join us as a participating physician.
