North Jersey Municipal Employee Benefits Fund

Mission Statement

The goal of the North Jersey Health Insurance Fund (HIF) or Health JIF is to provide a long-term solution to control health benefit costs while providing programs for employees and their families to obtain quality healthcare.

The Fund has accomplished these goals through:
  • More effective management of claims/payments.
  • Negotiating with area providers to lower claim costs.
  • Eliminating or reducing insurance company profit, overhead, and premium taxes etc. A HIF is a public entity owned and controlled by its members. Any surplus is ultimately returned to its members in the form of dividends.
  • Negotiating with national networks for access to primary care physicians, specialists and specialized facilities.
  • Providing support to its members in bargaining unit contract negotiations and plan designs.
  • Employee education and wellness programs.
