As previously communicated in Partners in Health Update, AmeriHealth
announced there is no member cost-sharing ($0) for certain preventive services
provided to certain members. These new cost-sharing rules are mandated by the
Federal Health Care Reform act known as the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010. The $0 copayment does not apply to problem-focused (i.e.,
nonpreventive) services. If a member is seen for both preventive and
nonpreventive services during the same visit, cost-sharing may apply.
For questions regarding member benefits, log on to the NaviNet? web portal and
select Member Eligibility and Benefits Inquiry from the Plan Transactions menu.
