Neighborhood Health Plan (NHP) has been taking care of our members since 1997 and embodies the spirit of what all the health plans in the United States should look like. They take a back seat to no one when it comes to quality health care. For the people of Barnstable County we are pleased to report that and expanded network of physicians and hospitals has now contracted with NHP.

NASRO rates the Neighborhood Health Plan as our best buy because of the value it brings our individual and small business members by having excellent benefit plans that now offer access to in network specialists without a referral from the primary care physician. All with no deductibles for most plans, low administrative costs, access to many times the same doctors and hospitals as the more well known plans and the most affordable monthly prices in the state year after year.

Their primary care providers include the major multi specialty groups such as Harvard Vanguard throughout greater Boston, Brigham & Women's in Newton, Southborough Medical Group, South Shore Medical Group and the Lahey Clinic, as well as Brigham & Women's, Beth Israel, Boston University Medical Center. All of Boston's specialty hospitals and their many of their specialists are also part of the plan.

No one likes to change doctors, but with monthly health insurance premiums costing more than many house mortgages, and NHP offering much lower premium costs for greater health insurance benefits, you may want to through investigate the quality of health care that is available to members though NHP. We are fortunate that greater Boston is one of the top five centers for medical excellence in the United States. There are many excellent physician groups to choose from.

NASRO is also now able to offer group dental plans with Delta Dental to accompany our group health plans with Neighborhood Health Plan.
