Dr. Jacqueline English opened Beach Family Medical in Long Beach over 14 months ago and has requested to be a provider with GHI since then. It’s been wonderful to have such a kind, caring primary physician in our local community. Shortly after having opened she found out that GHI/Emblem rejected her as a covered provider because there are too many providers in the area. Unfortunately this is incorrect and we do not have many primary physicians in LB. This practice is a blessing to our community and since many firefighters, police officers, teachers unions have GHI /Emblem as our insurance carriers we will not be covered for our medical visits. Rather than just calling myself every month I thought I would send a petition to see if anyone else would like to petition GHI to accept Beach Family Medicals application.
