Description: Amerigroup Corp is a multi-state, managed healthcare company focused on serving people who receive healthcare benefits through publicly sponsored programs, including Medicaid, SCHIP, FamilyCare and Medicare Advantage programs. The company was founded in December 1994 with the objective of becoming the leading managed care organization in the U.S. focused on serving people who receive these types of benefits. Amerigroup believes that managed healthcare remains the only proven mechanism that significantly reduces medical costs, helps government partners control their costs and improves health outcomes for those receiving these types of benefits. In September 2007, the company received approval from CMS to offer both Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans and Medicare Advantage health plans in the following states: Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee and Texas. The company had previously offered Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans in Maryland and Texas. In August 2007, Amerigroup began serving Medicaid enrollees under the South Carolina Healthy Connections Choices Program.
