Southern Coastal Fund Mission Statement

The mission of the Fund is to provide a long-term solution to control escalating benefit costs while providing programs for employees to obtain quality care.

We accomplish this mission by:

  • Effectively managing claims/payments
  • Negotiating with area providers to lower claims costs
  • Negotiating with national networks for access to specialized facilities
  • Providing support in bargaining unit contract negotiations
  • Educating employees

Southern Coastal is one of the New Jersey Health Insurance Funds – Powered by PERMA, which created the original HIFs in New Jersey, and has an over 30-year track record for success and fiscal responsibility.
