AmeriHealth Administrators is proud to celebrate Native American Heritage Month this November and continue our longstanding commitment as the largest provider of health plan administration solutions to Tribal nations in the country. With over 30 years of experience working with tribes and a deep understanding of members’ needs, AmeriHealth Administrators currently serves 26 tribal groups – 23 distinct tribes – across eight states, providing health services to more than 25,000 members.
Understanding Unique Needs
Each tribe is unique, and AmeriHealth Administrators recognizes the importance of understanding and respecting their specific needs and cultural differences.
We offer customized health plans that cater to the unique needs of each tribe. These plans include direct contracts with providers and coverage for ceremonial services, ensuring that tribal members receive culturally appropriate care.
Overcoming Challenges with Commitment to Community
Provider access and trust issues are significant challenges in health plan administration for tribal business. AmeriHealth Administrators addresses these challenges by improving access to healthcare providers in rural areas and building trust through cultural understanding.
In addition to providing health benefit services, we are actively involved in sponsoring and volunteering with various associations and organizations that support Native American communities.
AmeriHealth Administrators regularly and annually sponsors a variety of tribal-specific conferences, including the National Indian Health Board, National Native American Human Resources Association, and the American Indian Cancer Foundation’s Powwow for Hope.
In addition, we host an annual roundtable discussion with tribal clients to exchange ideas, share experiences, and cast a vision for the future. This allows tribal clients the opportunity to connect with other clients, as well as key AmeriHealth Administrators leaders.
