GREAT NEWS!

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and CHOP Reach AgreementHorizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ) and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) announced on January 16, 2009, they reached an agreement that will keep the facility in-network for Horizon BCBSNJ members. The agreement also ensures that CHOP’s physician groups and its facilities in New Jersey will remain in Horizon BCBSNJ’s network.“With this agreement, our members will continue to have in-network access to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and their physician groups in New Jersey,” said Christy Bell, Senior Vice President Healthcare Management.

This is a major victory in the Gollihur household as we anticipated having to either change some specialists or travel further to see the same specialist if this agreement wasn't reached. Obviously, Emily's care depends a lot on this network and we are grateful we can continue seeing all the special people at CHOP.
