NEW BRUNSWICK – Saint Peter’s Healthcare System and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey announced they have ended a legal dispute over Horizon’s widely held Omnia plans.
The settlement, announced Wednesday, puts Saint Peter’s in Horizon’s Tier 1 network, joining its larger counterparts, Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJBarnabas Health, effective May 1.
The parties said in a joint statement they are pleased to have reached an agreement. Instead of continuing to focus on our differences, we look forward to working together to advance health care quality, affordability and the customer experience. Saint Peter’s and Horizon BCBSNJ will continue our long history of collaboration to further enhance this partnership to improve the health and well-being of those we serve, the statement said.
