We recently updated the Member Wellness Guidelines. The goal of these guidelines is to provide members with a user-friendly version of evidenced-based wellness recommendations for the average-risk person. We encourage you to review these recommendations with your AmeriHealth patients to determine which screenings would be appropriate based on each patient?s specific medical and psychosocial needs.

The guidelines are updated bi-annually based on changes made to nationally recognized sources. Changes are reviewed by internal and external consultants, as appropriate, and by the AmeriHealth Clinical Quality Committee, which is comprised of network physicians.

Wellness guidelines are available for the following age groups:

• children, ages birth to 17
• adult, ages 18 ? 64
• adult, ages 65 and older

You can access the Member Wellness Guidelines on our websites for AmeriHealth New Jersey or AmeriHealth Pennsylvania. Paper copies can be ordered by submitting an online request form for AmeriHealth New Jersey or AmeriHealth Pennsylvania.

Note: Member Wellness Guidelines should not be confused with Preventive Care Benefits as provided under the Affordable Care Act. These recommendations are not a statement of benefits and some of these services may not be covered services or may require cost-sharing.
