October 3, 2005 - Philadelphia (PA) - Three the AmeriHealth Mercy Family of Companies affiliates, Keystone Mercy Health Plan, Passport Health Plan, and AmeriHealth Mercy Health Plan are among the highest rated Medicaid health plans in the country, according to US News & World Report/NCQA America's Best Health Plans 2005. Keystone Mercy, Philadelphia, PA, ranked #14; Passport Health Plan, Louisville, KY, ranked #18; and AmeriHealth Mercy Health Plan, Harrisburg, PA, ranked #19.

"It is a great honor to be recognized as three of the top Medicaid managed care plans in the country by US News & World Report/NCQA America's Best Health Plans 2005," said Daniel J. Hilferty, President and Chief Executive Officer, AmeriHealth Mercy. "Our associates work hard every day to carry out our Company mission of providing quality and accessible health care services for our members. This special recognition validates the strength of our Company's commitment to quality health care for people with Medicaid coverage."

With more than 20 years of experience exclusively serving the Medicaid population, AmeriHealth Mercy and its affiliates comprise the largest family of Medicaid managed care plans in the United States, touching the lives of more than 1.5 million members in eight states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, South Carolina, Virginia, Arizona, California and Indiana.

Released in the October 10th edition of US News & World Report, this collaborative study ranked the nation's commercial Medicare and Medicaid health plans based on access to care (member's ability to get needed care, quickly, health plan customer service), overall member satisfaction, prevention services (health screenings, prenatal care, childhood and adolescent immunizations, avoiding antibiotic overuse and well-child visits), treatment (how well the plan takes care of on-going health problems), and overall quality score (a combination of the scores from the four main categories above and NCQA accreditation).
