GUSCIORA STATEMENT ON CAPITAL HEALTH/HORIZON AGREEMENT

(TRENTON) - Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Princeton) issued the following statement regarding Thursday's announced agreement between Capital Health Systems and Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield:

"I am very pleased that Capital Health and Horizon were able to reach an agreement in order to bring the Helene Fuld Campus back to in-network status and keep the Mercer Campus as an in-network facility.  This is not only a benefit to the 3,500 area residents who were unable to use Helene Fuld for the past several months, but also to the Capital Health employees.

"We are extremely grateful for the Public Advocate and the Corzine Administration's intervention, which led to this new agreement.  Although we all hope this will be the last time such a lock out occurs, we will always work towards ensuring the public has the best heath care options available to them."
