AmeriHealth Mercy Health Plan traces its roots back to Mercy Health Plan, which was founded in 1982 at Misericordia Hospital in West Philadelphia with 300 enrolled members. Mercy Health Plan expanded to Berks, Lancaster and Lehigh counties in 1988. After a decade of growth, Mercy Health Plan was the first Medical Assistance plan to receive full National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Accreditation in 1992. In 1997, Mercy Health Plan entered into a partnership with Independence Blue Cross to form AmeriHealth Mercy Health Plan. AmeriHealth Mercy operates under a license held by AmeriHealth First, a subsidiary of Independence Blue Cross.
Today, AmeriHealth Mercy Health Plan serves more than 100,000 Medical Assistance recipients in 15 counties in Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. The counties we served are Adams, Berks, Carbon, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Perry, Pike and York Counties.
