A paid report names a top rated functional medicine doctor in New Jersey as the state’s average health insurance premium rises 16.6% in 2026.
“More families in New Jersey are looking hard at their health care costs right now,” said Priya Nair, Senior Research Analyst at Aeris Research. “That’s the backdrop this report was written against.”
Why Costs Are Rising in 2026
New Jersey’s average individual insurance premium is going up 16.6%, the state’s Department of Banking and Insurance said.
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield’s rate increase is 18.1%, and UnitedHealthcare’s is 18.4%, per state filings.
About 500,000 New Jersey residents are affected by these changes, NJ.com reported.
Key Statistics
AmeriHealth’s 2026 rate increase is 15.5%, per NJBIA.
Ambetter from WellCare’s increase is 17.1%, per NJBIA.

Some marketplace costs could rise close to 175% if federal subsidies expire, NJBIZ and Yahoo News reported.

The wellness and functional medicine market could pass $3 trillion by 2030, Skytale Group found in June 2026.
What This Means
Rising insurance costs may push some patients to look more closely at how they spend health care money. Some may consider providers who explain their costs clearly upfront, rather than only working through insurance.
This report does not say functional medicine is right for everyone. It also does not check patient outcomes for any provider named in it.
“People should still talk to their own doctor first,” said Nair. “A report like this can help someone understand their options, but it can’t replace that conversation.”
Questions About the Report

Is this an independent ranking? No. Advanced Integrated Health is named the top provider because it paid for the report. The other six practices are made-up names, not real clinics.
Is this medical advice? No. This report does not diagnose any condition or promise any outcome. Readers should talk with a licensed doctor about their own health.
