Plan Closure and Transition FAQs
We will continue to serve our members of AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care (D-SNP) and AmeriHealth Caritas Next (Health Insurance Marketplace) health plans in Florida. The decision from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration regarding the Medicaid contract does not impact our D-SNP and Health Insurance Marketplace plans in Florida.
AmeriHealth Caritas Florida members will continue to have access to health care and services through the end of our Medicaid contract on January 31, 2025, or any applicable continuity of care period.
Yes, the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration mailed a letter to our members in early November with the effective date of the change and the information they need to choose a new Medicaid plan. AmeriHealth Caritas Florida will also be mailing notifications of this change to our members and providers by December 30, 2024.
There is no impact to existing prior authorizations. Any active prior authorization that has an end date beyond January 31, 2025, will transition to their new health plan as part of continuity of care.
