Re:
AMERIGROUP Corporation (the “Company”)
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-123269)
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we respectfully request that
the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-123269) (the
“Registration Statement”) be accelerated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 23, 2005 or as soon as practicable
thereafter.
The Company acknowledges that, should the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking
any action with respect to the filing. In addition, the Company acknowledges that the action of
the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing
effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy
of the disclosure in the filing. Finally, the Company acknowledges that they may not assert the
declaration of effectiveness as defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person
under the federal securities laws of the United States.
We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Joshua A. Ratner
of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP at (212) 735-2318 and that such effectiveness also be
confirmed in writing.
Very truly yours,
AMERIGROUP CORPORATION
