At New York Life, we care about the health and wellbeing of our employees. We are excited to offer a range of resources to help them stay physically well and thrive both in and out of the office. From discounted fitness memberships to virtual health support, we have them covered. Benefits indicated with an asterisk (*) require enrollment in our medical plan.

Interested in tools for a healthy lifestyle?

1. Discounted gym memberships: Staying fit has never been easier. Employees enjoy discounted local gym memberships through our LifeCare partnership to help them keep active and healthy, while saving money. Bonus for the Home Office: At our Home Office in New York City, our employees enjoy our onsite wellness center and fitness center. Access is provided to a variety of health services – including urgent care, physical therapy, nutritionist consults, and fitness classes – completely free of charge.

2. Virtual doctor visits:* Employees can access top-notch medical care anytime, anywhere with Teladoc. They can connect with board-certified doctors and specialists via phone or video 24/7 for help with various non-emergency conditions.

3. 100% in-network preventive care coverage:* Preventive care is key to maintaining your health. Our employees enjoy 100% coverage for in-network preventive services like annual physicals, well-woman exams, and more.

4. Get paid for staying healthy:* Our employees can earn funds for their Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) by completing healthy activities like an annual physical. They can then use these HRA dollars to cover eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses. It's a win-win for their health and their wallet!

Looking for specialized support for long-term or new health concerns?

5. Dedicated care for managing a health condition:* With Aetna One® Choice care management, New York Life employees can connect with a nurse for personalized support and guidance for their condition. This, coupled with Aetna’s 24-hour nurse line, helps them get the care they need, when they need it.

6. Unlock expert health coaching:* Need help with better sleep, weight management, support during menopause, and more? Aetna’s health coaches are here to guide employees with personalized strategies and motivation to achieve lasting results.

7. Anti-smoking program:* Ready to quit smoking? Aetna’s Tobacco and Nicotine Cessation program offers practical tips, social support, and coaching to help our employees succeed.

8. Digital physical therapy:* Manage back and joint pain with Hinge Health. Personalized exercise sessions and professional guidance from physical therapists and coaches are just a click away.

9. Comprehensive cancer support:* Through Aetna’s Cancer Support Program, employees have a dedicated personal navigator who understands their care and can help with insurance questions, prior authorizations, and finding the right providers. Plus, our employees benefit from the Guided Genetic Health program and Cancer Support Center, offering valuable genetic counseling and testing to guide their treatment.

10. Second-opinion services:* Our employees gain peace of mind with 2nd.MD. Whether they need to confirm a diagnosis, learn more about a condition, or explore treatment options, 2nd.MD provides the expertise needed to make informed decisions about medical care. Connect with expert specialists via video consultations from the comfort of your home.
