Included with NJ SHBP/SEHBP Health
Benefits
As part of your benefits through the New Jersey State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) or School Employees’ Health Benefits Program (SEHBP), you and any covered family members receive access to Everside Health, which means you can see an Everside Health doctor with NO CO-PAYS. To get started, just set up your online account. Just remember, you’ll need your insurance ID to get started.
Everside Health is a national onsite, near-site, and virtual primary care provider that offers healthcare for employers, unions, and other organizations. That means that we operate patient-centered health centers where patients can get 90% of the medical services they need from an experienced doctor, at no cost. Everside doctors are dedicated to your healthcare and are easy to reach at convenient locations near your home or work, as well as virtually (by phone or video).
Our clients have seen significant healthcare cost increases each year; we’re on a mission to fix the broken healthcare delivery model that causes them. By partnering with us, you gain an additional choice to address the cost and quality of the healthcare you receive. Your access to Everside gives you high-quality, no co-pay primary care through your Everside doctor.
NJ State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and School Employees’ Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) members and any covered family members on a PPO health plan have access to care from a personal doctor with Everside Health as an added benefit of the Horizon®️ Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey SHBP / SEHBP plans. Unfortunately, this does not apply to those with HMO plans, high deductible plans, or Medicare retirees.
As an Everside patient, you have 24/7 access to manage your care. Our doctors offer a scope of services that are broader than a typical primary care practice – everything from routine checkups and urgent needs to chronic condition management and mental health screenings, with many services available virtually (by phone or video). Your doctor can also help you make appointments for specialist services or care that can’t be provided at the health center.
No, it should do just the opposite. A visit to an Everside health center can save you an expensive trip to the emergency room or urgent care, and visits are with no co-pays for preventive and non-preventive services. There’s also no charge for phone, secure messaging, or other remote interactions with your doctor. Some tests and procedures may be billed to your primary insurance at rates that are usually much lower than with other doctors. Services that aren’t covered by your access to Everside may still be covered by your organization’s insurance plan.
Everside doctors are board-certified or board-eligible, with experience caring for both pediatric and adult patients. Our providers see 70% fewer patients than a typical primary care doctor, allowing them to spend more time with you when you need it, start appointments on time, and provide you with flexible appointment availability.
We recommend that you make your Everside doctor your first point of contact for any health concerns. They provide a personalized level of service and can help you manage your overall care. So, instead of waiting to see a specialist to receive care, you can take advantage of the variety of services offered at your health center and through virtual care. Immediately after signing up, we recommend that you schedule your welcome appointment so your provider can get to know you, discuss your health history, and answer any questions you may have.
