Louisiana HRP
The Louisiana Health Plan, Louisiana’s high risk pool and HIPAA pools, became operational in 1992 and is financed through several sources, including state general revenues, the Louisiana mandated service charge, insurer assessments, and policyholder premiums. The premiums range from 125 percent to 200 percent of market rate for comparable coverage. By the end of 2005, just under 1,200 people were enrolled in the program.
