We are pleased to announce that for 2013, AmeriHealth is introducing AmeriHealth 65 Preferred HMO, an enhanced, affordably priced Medicare Advantage HMO plan. Members receive all the benefits of Original Medicare, plus many more when they use providers in the AmeriHealth New Jersey provider network. The plan is available to the Medicare-eligible population residing in Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties. The premium for AmeriHealth 65 Preferred HMO is $24.30 for the medical-only plan, and $74.90 for the medical and prescription drug plan. The plan has a $6,700 out-of-pocket maximum for 2013.

AmeriHealth 65 Preferred is an alternative to the AmeriHealth 65 NJ HMO plan, which will be discontinued for individuals only, beginning January 1, 2013. In addition to comprehensive medical coverage and vision, dental, and hearing services, AmeriHealth 65 Preferred features an extensive provider network with more than 3,000 primary care physicians, 50,000 specialist sites, and 100 hospitals, including Philadelphia-area providers.

Members receive access to the SilverSneakers? Fitness Program; preventive care; health resources and wellness programs; and support for managing chronic conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
