Louisiana Blue Shares Savings with More Than 34,000 Eligible Members

BATON ROUGE – Today, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana announced it will provide rebates to approximately 18,100 individual members and to 435 employers of approximately 16,000 members statewide. Members who were covered in 2023 under a Louisiana Blue individual plan or HMO Louisiana, Inc. large group, fully insured plan may be eligible for a rebate. 

Success from Louisiana Blue’s efforts to hold the line on healthcare costs has enabled the insurer to share savings in the form of rebate checks to eligible members. Checks will be issued in September.

“At Louisiana Blue, we focus on improving the health and lives of Louisianians,” said Bryan Camerlinck, president and CEO of Louisiana Blue. “That means developing programs and partnerships that improve care quality and lower costs for our fellow Louisianians. As a result of this work, we are able to send rebates to certain members.”

Rebates are part of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which sets a minimum percent of the premiums an insurer collects every year on medical care and healthcare quality improvement programs for members.

“We work hard to give our members the most value their plans have to offer, and we’re happy our efforts have paid off,” Camerlinck said.

Eligible individual members and group employers will receive a letter explaining the rebate, and should then receive their rebates in the next few weeks.
