Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 26, 2009, AMERIGROUP Corporation ("the Company") issued a press release announcing that it expects to report earnings for the third quarter of 2009 in the range of $0.42 to $0.44 per diluted share. Additionally, the Company announced that it believes that it will not meet its previously announced 2009 annual earnings guidance of $2.55 to $2.75 per diluted share. The Company is withdrawing its guidance for the current year due to the wide range of medical cost outcomes that may occur in the fourth quarter.

The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) shall not be considered "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such filing that such information is to be considered "filed" or incorporated by reference therein.
