The selected payers include Aetna Better Health of Louisiana, AmeriHealth Caritas Louisiana, Healthy Blue, Humana and Louisiana Healthcare Connections. 

The contracts, which go into effect later this year, span three years and offer the option to be renewed. Collectively, the plans will serve 1.6 million beneficiaries. 

Contracts will be formally awarded after a 14-day protest period ends Feb. 25.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
