Garden State Plan (GSP) GSP Plan Design
Important: The GSP only allows care to be accessed from New Jersey providers who participate with AmeriHealth Local Value Network. If you or your family see providers in Philadelphia, or anywhere else outside of New Jersey, this plan will not provide the same level of benefit that you are used to. Care from providers and facilities outside of NJ will only be covered in the event of a true medical emergency.
Employees are mandated by NJ Chapter 44 to contribute toward their health benefit premiums. To calculate your contribution amount for the EHP or the GSP, please refer to your salary and the percentages in the corresponding chart below.

Make Changes to Existing Coverages
It is each employee's responsibility to complete and submit the proper paperwork to Personnel if there is a life event that would affect benefits coverage. A life event would be defined as, "loss or start of an existing coverage due to marriage, death, divorce, birth, adoption". Changes made outside of the annual enrollment period must be done within 30 days of a life event. Due to a life event, employees may add and remove dependents from exiting coverage, elect coverage (if eligible), or waive coverage (if eligible). Changes between plan designs can only be made during an annual Open Enrollment period.
Prudential Disability Program
If you are currently enrolled in the program, you can increase your monthly benefit up to $500 higher.
Members not in the program can join during open enrollment without answering health questions.
