How can we help?

For members with coverage through an employer: Contact your employer’s benefits administrator or human resources department to cancel your coverage.

If you purchased your health coverage through the NJ state-based exchange (SBE): Go to Get Covered New Jersey or call 1-833-677-1010 (TTY 711). Please provide the SBE at least 14 days advance notice of when you want to terminate your coverage.

If you purchased your coverage directly through Horizon BCBSNJ and not through the NJ state-based exchange (SBE): You can voluntarily terminate your coverage at any time for any reason with a future termination date. Complete the Request for Termination Form and submit it using one of the options on the form.

You cannot update your address using our member website or the Horizon Blue App. Instead, to request that we change the address we have on file for you, be sure to provide your name, member ID number and new address when contacting us below.

For other members with coverage through an employer not mentioned above: You may need to work directly with your employer’s benefits administrator or human resources department to update your mailing address. If you are not sure if this applies to you or if you need additional help, contact us through our Email Us or Chat tools. We will let you know if you need to contact your employer directly, or if we can make the change.

It depends on how you got your coverage and when you’re trying to make a change.

If you bought your insurance from Get Covered NJ (the state-based exchange) or directly from Horizon:

You can change your coverage:

1. During the Open Enrollment Period: November 1 through January 31.
2. If you experience a qualifying life event at any time during the year. You are required to provide proof of the life event and the changes to your coverage within 60 days after the event.

If you are an SHBP/SEHBP retiree:

Contact the Division of Pensions and Benefits.

If you get your insurance through work:

Check with your benefits administrator or human resources department. Normally, you can only make changes to your coverage during the Open Enrollment Period or when you have a qualifying life event.

Turning 26 years old is considered a qualifying life event, so your dependent has options for getting coverage. Which options they have will depend on which of the following situations apply to them:

If they’re under your health plan, your dependent’s health insurance coverage will likely end either during, after or on the last day of the month of their 26th birthday. For a specific date, sign in to your account to Email or Chat with Member Services.

If your policy is currently active but no member ID card is loaded online, your enrollment may still be processing. In this case, you can view, print or download a proof of coverage letter.

If you are not able to view, print or download a member ID card or proof of coverage letter, your policy may not be active. Use our Email Us or Chat tools and select Enrollment to contact us with any questions.

• After your dependent turns 26 years old, but before they turn 31 years old, they may be eligible to enroll as a dependent in a parent’s job-based plan by making a “DU31 election.” If your dependent already has their own coverage (other than Medicare) at that time, they would have to give up their existing policy to enroll in your health plan. The DU31 law does not apply if you have an individual or family health plan purchased through GetCoveredNJ (the state-based health insurance exchange).

If you bought your insurance through Get Covered NJ (the state-based exchange):

Go to Get Covered New Jersey or call 1-833-677-1010 (TTY 711)

If you bought insurance directly from Horizon:

Complete and return the Enrollment/Change Request Form and submit it using one of the options on the form.

If you get your insurance through work:

Contact your benefits administrator or human resources department.

If your dependent has coverage under your health insurance plan, their dental and vision benefits will end on the date of their 26^th birthday. However, you have three options to potentially extend their coverage. You can apply for COBRA continuation coverage, use New Jersey’s Small Group Continuation (NJSGC) law or choose to apply for the New Jersey Dependent Under 31 (DU31) election.

Horizon also sells a number of dental and vision insurance plans. You can get a quick and easy quote online or by calling our Sales Department at 1-800-224-1234, weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
