About Louisiana health cooperative, inc. (lahc)
Louisiana Health Cooperative, Inc. (LAHC) is a non-profit health insurance company that was established in 2011 to provide affordable and quality healthcare coverage to individuals and families in Louisiana. The company operates as a Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP), which means that it is owned by its members and governed by a board of directors elected by the members.
LAHC offers a range of health insurance plans, including individual and family plans, small group plans, dental plans, vision plans, and Medicare Advantage plans. The company's mission is to improve the health of its members by providing access to high-quality healthcare services at an affordable cost.
One of the unique features of LAHC is its focus on preventive care. The company encourages its members to take an active role in their own health by offering wellness programs, disease management programs, and other resources designed to help them stay healthy.
In addition to providing healthcare coverage, LAHC also works closely with healthcare providers throughout Louisiana to improve the quality of care delivered to its members. The company has established partnerships with hospitals, clinics, and other providers across the state in order to ensure that its members have access to high-quality care when they need it.
Despite facing financial challenges over the years due in part because of changes made under Obamacare regulations which led many CO-OPs around the country into insolvency or closure; LAHC has remained committed towards fulfilling their mission statement for their customers' benefit. In 2019 however due these financial challenges they were placed into receivership estate status under Louisiana Department Of Insurance supervision but still continue operations as usual while being overseen for compliance purposes.
Overall LAHC stands out among other health insurance companies because it puts people first - both its members and healthcare providers - while striving towards improving overall public health outcomes within Louisiana communities through innovative approaches such as telemedicine services which allows patients remote consultations with doctors via video conferencing technology from anywhere within state lines without having travel long distances or wait times at clinics/hospitals etc..
