AmeriChoice® - a business unit of UnitedHealth Group, serves more than two million beneficiaries of government health care programs in 21 states and the District of Columbia.
Since 1989, AmeriChoice® has served these programs exclusively, earning a reputation as an innovative developer of public sector health care solutions. We understand the imperatives of public sector health care, we have invested in the systems and personnel required to successfully provide quality service to our customers and we have designed health plans that meet the unique needs of the populations we serve.
The unique AmeriChoice Personal Care Model™ features direct member contact by clinical staff who work to build a support network for chronically and acutely ill members involving family, physicians and government and community-based organizations. The goal is to employ practical solutions to improve members’ health and keep them in their communities, with the resources they need to maintain the highest possible functional status.
AmeriChoice® uses a variety of advanced technology applications to ensure that high quality, timely and appropriate health care is available to all members. We have developed our own software to monitor member access to services. We use a sophisticated clinical risk stratification tool to ensure that our members are receiving optimal care.
We emphasize preventive health and education. We regularly encourage members to get annual physicals and routine diagnostic and screening tests, and we often work with community organizations to ensure that there are no cultural or language barriers to our members getting the care they need.
AmeriChoice® believes that compassion and respect are essential components of a successful health care company. We contract with community-based networks and employ a diverse workforce, with varied backgrounds and extensive practical experience that gives us a better understanding of our members and their needs.
Our detailed knowledge of our members and our service areas, the application of cutting-edge technology and the commitment of our employees have made AmeriChoice® the leading choice for quality public sector health care.
