AmeriHealth Caritas Next, our individual and family health plans both on and off the Health Insurance Marketplace, has expanded to include four additional counties in North Carolina. Participating on the Health Insurance Marketplace aligns with our vision to empower those in need across their full life journey by providing a health insurance option for those who otherwise would have no access to health insurance coverage through their employer, Medicaid, or Medicare. We aim to continue to be there for our members as they transition out of Medicaid and can gain coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
We are currently developing a network of hospital, physical, ancillary, and behavioral health care providers in the listed counties, and we want to partner with dedicated providers like you.
