[
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,
Hackensack Meridian Health System, and specialty care at Deborah Heart and Lung
Center. These members will also
have access to health systems throughout New Jersey 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.
