The Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey Hospital Recognition Program (HHRP) is designed to acknowledge hospitals in the areas of patient safety, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Horizon BCBSNJ network hospitals in New Jersey with both high quality and safe patient outcomes may receive financial and public recognition from Horizon BCBSNJ.

This program is designed with two options: the Leapfrog Hospital Rewards Program™ and the Horizon Program Option. Horizon BCBSNJ endorses the Leapfrog methodology of measurement and encourages hospitals to consider this option of the Horizon BCBSNJ Hospital Recognition Program. As an alternative to the Leapfrog program, Horizon BCBSNJ has developed the Horizon Program Option. Both programs are designed to acknowledge hospitals for achieving improved clinical performance.

New Jersey hospitals participating in the Horizon BCBSNJ network are eligible for this program. Hospitals that are not participating in the network are not eligible for the program; hospitals that issue a notice of termination from the network will no longer be eligible to participate in the program.
