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.
