Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island | Diversity Employer

We serve one in five Rhode Islanders.
Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island (Neighborhood) is a not-for-profit 501c3 health maintenance organization (HMO) insurance company with a consistent record of earning accreditation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Founded in partnership with Rhode Island’s Community Health Centers in December 1993, we are governed by a 17-person board.

We served our first 1,490 members in 1994, and by 2000, we grew to 50,000 members. Starting in November 2013 through the introduction of the Affordable Care Act and state leadership’s decision to extend coverage to more Rhode Islanders, Neighborhood has significantly increased its membership, revenue, and staff. In 2024, Neighborhood celebrates 30 years of service.

Today, Neighborhood—with 650 employees and $1.6 billion in revenue—serves one out of every five Rhode Islanders with approximately 230,000 members. *
