A not-for-profit health insurer serving 3.7 million members in New Jersey with medical, dental, vision, Medicare and Medicaid plans since 1932.
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is a not-for-profit, tax-paying health insurer and health solutions company serving 3.7 million members across New Jersey. Founded in 1932 by healthcare leaders seeking to close gaps in access to quality medical care during the Great Depression, it is the state's oldest and largest health insurer, with more than nine decades in operation. Its stated mission is to empower members to achieve their best health, with a focus on improving the quality, affordability and experience of care.
The company's coverage spans medical, dental, vision, Medicare and Medicaid plans, offered to individuals and groups throughout the state. It operates from three offices, with headquarters in Newark and additional locations in Wall and Hopewell, New Jersey. Its work sits within the health insurance, healthcare and managed care sectors.
Horizon describes its orientation as community-based, serving members across every part of New Jersey. Prospective candidates can expect an organisation structured around member health outcomes and healthcare delivery improvement rather than shareholder returns, given its not-for-profit status.
