AmeriHealth Mercy/ PerformRx Appoints Vice President of Pharmacy Sales

May 5, 2004 - Philadelphia (PA) - AmeriHealth Mercy announced today the appointment of Charles "Charlie" Scammell as its new Vice President of Pharmacy Sales. Mr. Scammell will lead the national pharmacy sales and marketing efforts for AmeriHealth Mercy's pharmacy benefit management program, PerformRx.

Mr. Scammell brings more than 20 years experience in both health care and pharmacy sales to AmeriHealth Mercy. Most recently, he was the National Account Executive for Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals, responsible for the National and Northeast Regional PBM and HMO accounts. In addition, Mr. Scammell has a wide range of experience in product management and marketing, program development, strategic planning, operations analysis and organizational design projects within the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.

Mr. Scammell received an MBA in Marketing from the Columbia University Business School. He received his Masters in Public Health from the Columbia University School of Public Health, and he received a BS in Biology from St. Lawrence University.

AmeriHealth Mercy's pharmacy care management solution, PerformRx, maintains an average annual pharmacy cost trend of less than 9% versus the national trend of 18%-25% within the Medicaid sector by using the approach of linking traditional medical management with pharmacy management.

With more than 20 years of experience exclusively serving the Medicaid population, the AmeriHealth Mercy Family of Companies and its affiliates comprise the largest family of Medicaid managed care plans in the United States, touching the lives of more than one million members in six states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, South Carolina, California and Virginia.
