[edit] History
Horizon BCBSNJ traces its history back to 1932 when Associated Hospitals of Essex County, Inc. was formed as a multi-hospital prepayment plan. The company later became the nation's first Blue Cross Plan.
The insurance provider has long been based in Newark, for many years occupying 33 Washington Street, and now owning its own building at Penn Plaza East.
Among the organizations that Horizon covers is North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue, which signed up with Horizon after ending their relationship with Cigna.[1]
