Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is pleased to announce that Temple University Hospital, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will join the Horizon Hospital Network, effective April 1, 2010.

With this agreement, all Horizon BCBSNJ members can access Temple University Hospital at an in-network level of benefits on or after April 1, 2010.  Previously, only members whose plans participate in the BlueCard® Program were eligible for in-network access at Temple University Hospital.

As always, we encourage members to use network hospitals to maximize their benefits and minimize their out-of-pocket costs.  Members have a choice of network hospitals throughout New Jersey and nearby in New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware.  Members can search for hospitals participating in the Horizon Hospital Network by using the Provider Directory search tool on this website.
