Integrated care and coverage
GHP isn’t just another insurance company. It’s a locally serviced and innovative health plan integrated with Geisinger, a leader in care. This means your employees get access to world-renowned care and seamless information-sharing between providers and insurance.
Fewer barriers between doctors, insurance and members means better care is delivered more efficiently, with lower costs for everyone involved. Integrated care and coverage focuses on health and wellness, prevention and effectively controlling chronic conditions. This leads to better outcomes and significant savings for you and your employees.
Pharmacy savings
Our focus is on helping your business manage your total prescription claims cost, as well as the total cost of caring for your employees. That’s why our network physicians focus on prescribing FDA-approved generic and biosimilar medications when appropriate.
The result is greater savings with the same efficacy and the same clinical outcomes as name brands. And because we’re an integrated health system, our providers can access a member’s full medical and prescription history. Plus, proactive testing and early intervention can head off serious conditions and higher-dollar claims.

Geisinger 65 Forward
Every Geisinger 65 Forward Health Center offers senior primary care and so much more. Among the first of its kind created to care for your employees who have Medicare, 65 Forward addresses seniors’ unique health needs, behaviors and wellness opportunities.
This results in 15% lower hospitalization rates and 40% lower ER visit rates. Plus, members can expect more one-on-one time with a doctor who will get to know them personally.
Fresh Food Farmacy
A high-quality diet can help us all live a longer, healthier life. But healthy food isn’t always easily accessible. Fresh Food Farmacy is Geisinger’s revolutionary approach to fighting chronic illnesses with free education, recipes and healthy food.
Each week, we provide our patients with enough food to make 10 nutritious meals for themselves and their family — as well as access to a clinical care team.
The program has resulted in:
- 12% decrease in acute readmissions
- 28% improvement in glucose management
- 29% decrease in ER visits
