[
We recently posted the 2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines, which
replaces the previous version. The goal of these guidelines is to provide
members with a user-friendly version of evidenced-based wellness
recommendations for the average-risk person. These recommendations are not a
statement of benefits and some of these services may require cost-sharing.
The 2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines have been revised so the
recommendations more appropriately meet the needs of the following individual
age groups:
- Pediatric guidelines (ages birth to 17)
- Adult guidelines ages 18 ? 64
- Adult guidelines ages 65 and older
We encourage you to review these recommendations with your AmeriHealth patients
to determine which screenings would be appropriate based on specific patient
medical and psychosocial needs.
The guidelines are updated annually based on changes made to nationally
recognized sources. Changes are reviewed by internal and external consultants,
as appropriate, and by the AmeriHealth Quality Committee, which is comprised of
network physicians.
Access the 2015-2016 Member Wellness Guidelines on the AmeriHealth New Jersey website or the AmeriHealth Pennsylvania website. Paper copies can be
ordered by submitting an online request or by calling the Provider Supply Line at
1-800-858-4728.
