AmeriHealth offers nationwide coverage through PHCS, a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). The company offers insurance through AmeriHealth's wellness benefits and incentive programs.[3]
History
[edit]AmeriHealth, known initially as Delaware Valley HMO, was established in 1995 to provide health coverage to Pennsylvania employers and their staff residing in Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem counties of New Jersey. It expanded its coverage area to include southern New Jersey and Delaware, and by 1997, AmeriHealth offered coverage to the entire state of New Jersey.[4] In 2013, AmeriHealth announced it would be offering plans in New Jersey on the federally run health insurance exchange.[5]
Wellness programs
[edit]AmeriHealth provides employer on-site health coaching with a nurse wellness specialist to small- and mid-sized New Jersey–based organizations. Workplace wellness services include sending registered nurses to provide a broad spectrum of on-site health education, seminars, screenings, and support. AmeriHealth offers an incentive-based wellness program,[6] called Embrace Well-Being, which provides individuals and groups with tools to "support wellness and rewards for living a healthy lifestyle".
