AmeriHealth Advantage and Tier 1 Advantage expand to include RWJBarnabas

October 19, 2017

AmeriHealth New Jersey is committed to providing enhanced access and affordable solutions to health care in New Jersey. That's why we are excited to announce that effective January 1, 2018, we will welcome RWJBarnabas Health to tier 1 for both the AmeriHealth Advantage and Tier 1 Advantage networks.

AmeriHealth Advantage

The addition of RWJBarnabas Health will expand access to AmeriHealth Advantage plans from seven New Jersey counties to 13. For 2018, AmeriHealth Advantage plans will be available to individual customers and small and large group employers based in the following counties:

  • Atlantic
  • Burlington
  • Camden
  • Cape May
  • Essex ? NEW!
  • Gloucester
  • Hudson ? NEW!
  • Mercer ? NEW!
  • Middlesex ? NEW!
  • Monmouth
  • Ocean
  • Somerset ? NEW!
  • Union ? NEW!
In 2013, AmeriHealth New Jersey pioneered the use of tiered networks in the state in collaboration with Cooper University Health. Since then the success of this model has enabled us to bring in additional hospital systems from across the state. Effective January 1, 2018, the list of AmeriHealth Advantage hospital systems will include:
  • AtlantiCare
  • Cape Regional Medical Center
  • Cooper University Health Care
  • Deborah Heart and Lung Center
  • Hackensack Meridian Health
  • RWJBarnabas Health

Tier 1 Advantage

Effective January 1, 2018, RWJBarnabas Health will move to tier 1 for Tier 1 Advantage plans. This means all members enrolled in a Tier 1 Advantage plan will have lower out-of-pocket costs for RWJBarnabas hospital and facility services, beginning January 1, 2018. Tier 1 Advantage tier 2 hospitals are still available to members through the statewide Local Value network.* You can view the current list of Tier 1 hospitals and facilities at amerihealthnj.com.

*Tier 1 Advantage plans are not available to individual members or group customers based in Hunterdon County.
