unique needs.
Complex care coordination. Tiered pricing. Atypical enrollment processes. These are just a few of the challenges unique populations, such as students, hospital and health systems, Taft-Hartley plans, unions, and correctional facilities, may present. The good news is they’re also a few of AmeriHealth Administrators’ strengths. With our ability to customize our support, we can offer solutions as unique as the populations we serve.
Correctional Health Care Expertise
Inmate populations are growing, budgets are tight, and regulatory constraints continue to present challenges. Yet somehow correctional institutions must simultaneously stem rising health care costs and continue to provide inmates access to high-quality care. Providing inmates with access to care outside a correctional institution requires specialized knowledge, flexibility in approach, and out-of-the-box thinking. Fortunately, AmeriHealth Administrators offers all three.
