External testing
AmeriHealth is in the process of reassessing and communicating our external
testing plan and schedule. Beginning in early 2015, we will resume external
testing with our pre-established testing partners and share our successes and
challenges with our provider network.

Detailed information about external testing schedules will be communicated
