    Medical Workforce Shortage

    One of the biggest challenges we face in helping our members is a shortage of qualified medical professionals. Because access to proper care is one of the key aspects of our work, AmeriHealth Caritas is committed to working with both providers and governments to help address this growing crisis.

New product lines

By providing quality, affordable health care insurance no matter the health barrier, the social condition, or material and economic security, we align our whole-person care model with our vision to empower those in need during their full life’s journey. Visit our websites for the following plans to learn more about our new Health Insurance Marketplace® plans and/or our Dual-Eligible Special Needs (D-SNP) plans in the states of Delaware, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Individual and family health plans offered on and off the Health Insurance Marketplace

AmeriHealth Caritas Next and First Choice Next offer affordable health plans for eligible individuals or families who do not have coverage through their employer and do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid.

Medicare Advantage D-SNP

AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care® (Delaware and Florida) and First Choice VIP Care (South Carolina)

AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care and First Choice VIP Care are Medicare Advantage D-SNP plans for those beneficiaries who are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Our approach integrates proven, established care management, preventive services, and other programs that effectively coordinate care for aged, blind, and disabled individuals.

New state opportunities

Participation opportunities are now open for the following plans:

AmeriHealth Caritas Indiana:

AmeriHealth Caritas Indiana wants to partner with dedicated providers like you. We are developing a network of hospital, physician, ancillary, and behavioral health care providers to prepare to deliver health care services to beneficiaries of the Indiana Hoosier Healthwise, Healthy Indiana Plan, Hoosier Care Connect, and Indiana PathWays for Aging programs, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Children’s Health Insurance Program, and expansion populations.

AmeriHealth Caritas Kentucky:

AmeriHealth Caritas Kentucky anticipates that the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department for Medicaid Services (CHFS-DMS) will release a request for proposal (RFP) for its Commonwealth of Kentucky Medicaid Managed Care Program with Optional Foster Care Contract (Kentucky SKY Program) by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. We intend to respond to this RFP. Our goal is to qualify for the Kentucky Medicaid program to provide benefits for physical health, behavioral health, and community services across the state. If we are selected for the program, we are also considering implementing:

  • A Medicare Advantage dual-eligible special needs plan (D-SNP) for beneficiaries who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.
  • Benefits and covered services for foster care enrollees, certain adoption assistance enrollees, and certain juvenile justice enrollees. This program is referred to as Kentucky SKY (Supporting Kentucky Youth).

To help us meet this goal, we are currently developing a network of hospital, physician, ancillary, behavioral health, vision, and nonemergency medical transportation providers. We want to partner with dedicated providers like you.
