From 1980- 2010 AHS has provided a variety of services to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW). Initially the work included administration of the Commonwealth’s EPSDT Program that covered over 1,000,000 eligible children and adolescents per year. AHS was responsible for outreach and education, provider recruitment, care coordination, and claims processing. By providing DPW with a high quality, low-cost solution, as well as through the merit of our excellent track record, AHS was awarded the contract in 1983, 1987, and 1992.

Cognizant of the applicability of our EPSDT skill set, AHS’ top management began to re-engineer our knowledge and experience in community environments, education, network development, and information systems development to serve PCCM and HMO environments. Subsequently, AHS was awarded a contract to design and implement the Pennsylvania Family Care Network (FCN), a Primary Care Case Management model. This allowed us to create a single coordinated managed care program for over 500,000 Medical Assistance eligible children under the age of 21.
