AmeriHealth 65 NJ Value and Preferred are both Medicare Advantage Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans. AmeriHealth 65 NJ Value is designed for people who wish to pay a lower monthly premium in exchange for higher copays, whereas AmeriHealth 65 NJ Preferred is designed for people who wish to pay a higher monthly premium in exchange for lower copays.

AmeriHealth 65 NJ Plus is a Medicare Advantage Point-of-Service (POS) plan. AmeriHealth 65 NJ Plus is designed for people who want the freedom to see any provider in or out of the network. With AmeriHealth 65 NJ Plus, you get all the health care coverage of an HMO plan plus the freedom to seek care from any provider in or out of the network without a referral from your primary care physician and still be covered. If you choose to go outside of the network, your out-of-pocket costs may be higher. If you obtain routine care from out-of plan providers neither Medicare nor AmeriHealth 65 will be responsible for the costs.

Best Available Evidence Policy

Early in 2006, a number of factors contributed to the problem of incorrect cost-sharing levels for full-benefit dual eligible’s and other LIS eligible individuals. The purpose of this link is to provide members with information on CMS Best Available Evidence policy.

In certain cases, CMS systems do not reflect a beneficiary’s correct low-income subsidy (LIS) status at a particular point in time. To address these situations, CMS created the Best Available Evidence (BAE) policy. This policy requires Plans to establish the appropriate cost-sharing for low-income beneficiaries when presented with evidence that the beneficiary’s information is not accurate.

Learn more about the Best Available Evidence Policy.

The AmeriHealth 65 Medicare contract is renewed annually. The availability of coverage beyond the end of the current contract year is not guaranteed.
