Hackensack Meridian Health Remains In-Network for Braven Health and Horizon DSNP Members
As of June 1, 2025, Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) terminated their hospital from Horizon Hospital Network unless Horizon agrees to increase prices for services and cares at their facilities. This change does not impact Braven Health or Horizon NJ TotalCare (HMO D-SNP). Braven Health and Horizon TotalCare (HMO D-SNP) members can continue using HMH providers and hospitals.

Why is this not impacting Braven Health and DSNP and will it soon?
Only certain Horizon members are affected by the change in hospital network status. Braven Health and Horizon TotalCare (HMO D-SNP) members can continue using HMH hospitals and doctors. This change also does not change Horizon NJ Health network for Medicaid and DSNP. 

Is this termination going to have any effect on the HMH partnership with Braven Health?
There is no change to the Braven Health partnership between Horizon, HMH and RWJBarnabas Health (RWJB). Braven Health will continue to offer Medicare Advantage plans.

Will this termination impact member care for Braven Health or Horizon NJ TotalCare (HMO D-SNP) members? 
Coverage and benefits are not changing for these members. They will continue to receive the same benefits and have access to the same doctors, hospitals and other health care facilities.
