Another nonprofit, member-owned health carrier says it will close its doors at the end of the year.
Managers of Community Health Alliance Mutual Insurance Company, a Tennessee carrier founded with $73 million in loans from the federal Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans (CO-OP) program, have received state permission to put the company in a runoff process.
The insurer will continue to pay claims filed by holders of in-force policies, but it will stop taking on new customers, and it will shut down after Dec. 31, managers say.
