Horizon BCBSNJ Small Group Certifications

Below is a recent correspondence from Horizon BCBSNJ

Due to the declared public health emergency by the Governor, and until it is lifted, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ) understands that the small employer community is working through many concerns. With regard to New Jersey Small Employer Health (SEH), effective immediately, all April-July anniversary groups will be deemed compliant.

For groups that have already received termination notices from April through July effective dates, those terminations will be rescinded (unless the group has procured other coverage) and those groups will be deemed compliant and, instead, flagged for review next year. If a group wishes to terminate their small employer coverage, they need to submit a termination letter to Horizon BCBSNJ prior to their renewal date.

Additionally, Horizon BCBSNJ is delaying August and September certifications packages until further notice.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

As always, please contact your broker or agent regarding your specific Small Employer health plan.

Stay safe and diligent.
