AmeriChoice coordinates resources among family, physicians, other health care providers, and government and community-based agencies and organizations to ensure continuous and effective care. The unique AmeriChoice Personal Care Model establishes an ongoing relationship with individuals who have serious and chronic health conditions to help them maintain the best possible health and functional status.
