[
Beginning January 1, 2017, AmeriHealth New Jersey's Community
Advantage plans will be combined with AmeriHealth Advantage and the name
Community Advantage will no longer be used. The seamless transition from
Community Advantage to AmeriHealth Advantage will make these plans available
for individual customers and small and large group employers based in Atlantic,
Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Gloucester, Monmouth, and Ocean counties.
AmeriHealth Advantage plans in 2017
AmeriHealth Advantage plans will have the same tiered benefits as the
former Community and AmeriHealth Advantage plans. Members enrolled in
AmeriHealth Advantage have the opportunity to access care at a lower cost from
the plan's Tier 1 hospitals: Cooper University Health Care, Shore Medical
Center, Cape Regional Medical Center, Meridian Health, and specialty care at
Deborah Heart and Lung Center. These members will also have access to health
systems throughout the state using the Local Value network.
Note: All current Community Advantage Tier 1 physicians will
remain in Tier 1 for AmeriHealth Advantage.
Individual customers living in the seven counties listed may choose an
AmeriHealth Advantage plan during the 2017 Open Enrollment Period beginning
November 1, 2016. Coverage will be effective as early as January 1, 2017.
Small and large group employers based in the seven counties listed may begin
offering AmeriHealth Advantage plans to their employees as of January 1, 2017,
upon renewal.
AmeriHealth Advantage ID cards
All members enrolled in AmeriHealth Advantage plans will have an AmeriHealth
Advantage and Local Value logo printed in the top right corner of their 2017
member ID card. Please note that new 2017 AmeriHealth New Jersey ID cards will
no longer showcase a Community Advantage logo. Any physician who previously
accepted Community Advantage members should continue to accept these members if
their member ID card has an AmeriHealth Advantage logo.
If you have any questions regarding this transition, please call Customer
Service at 1-888-YOUR-AH1 or contact your Provider Partnership
Associate.
