Bergen New Bridge Medical Center

What Bergen New Bridge Medical Center does

Bergen New Bridge Medical Center is a not-for-profit safety-net hospital and licensed nursing home founded in 1916, headquartered at 230 East Ridgewood Avenue in Paramus, New Jersey. It operates a 1,070-bed integrated delivery system that is simultaneously the largest hospital and largest licensed nursing home in New Jersey and the fourth largest publicly owned hospital in the United States. The facility is a clinical affiliate of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and provides acute and ambulatory care across 26+ specialties, 24/7 emergency services, full-spectrum behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment, a Long Term Care division with secure dementia units, and a pharmacy, laboratory, and radiologic services on site. Specialty technology platforms include the Da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system, Hitachi Echelon Oval MRI, Horizon DXA bone densitometry, Osso VR nurse training, and NeuroFlow digital behavioral health screening, with an Epic MyChart patient portal transition scheduled for February 2027.

The go-to-market model combines direct patient care, physician referrals, and insurance network participation: Bergen New Bridge is in-network with all major New Jersey commercial plans covering 99.91% of NJ residents, is a VA Community Care Network member with a dedicated Veterans Access Line, and operates CareRite Now walk-in primary care clinics inside Inserra Supermarkets plus satellite multispecialty practices (One Bergen Health) in Bergenfield and Ridgewood. Customer segments span the general Bergen County community, veterans, LGBTQ+ patients (with a dedicated Health and Wellness Center), culturally specific Korean and Muslim programs, long-term care and dementia residents, and vulnerable uninsured/underinsured populations supported through charity care and the Bergen New Bridge Medical Center Foundation (a 501(c)(3) established in 1991).

Revenue is generated primarily through clinical services billing across Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, VA Community Care, and patient self-pay, supplemented by philanthropic gifts and donations routed through the Foundation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the organization publishes a patient cost estimator, machine-readable standard charges file, and a Financial Assistance Program for qualifying uninsured patients. Distribution combines the main hospital, satellite offices, retail-embedded CareRite Now clinics, the VA Community Care channel, and insurance network participation.
