Caring for our communities since 1972
We began in 1972 as a rural, prepaid health plan offered as a pilot program to Geisinger Medical Center employees and residents of the 5 counties surrounding Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.
In 1985, Geisinger Health Plan received its Certificate of Authority to operate an HMO under the authority of the Pennsylvania Health Maintenance Act of 1973.
We offered a significant premium advantage during the 1980s and 1990s, when healthcare costs began to escalate. In 1990, we reached 100,000 members. And today, we provide a variety of coverage options to fit the needs of over 550,000 members.
We've received national recognition for our innovation, and for uniquely and effectively managing medical costs and improving outcomes.
