Idaho health system launches its own health insurance plan

The newest health insurance plan in Idaho is now available from the state's largest health system:  Boise-based St. Luke's Health System, reports Becker’s Payer Issues. The nonprofit St. Luke's Health Plan subsidiary starting Jan. 1 will provide patients in 20 counties with access to the system's six hospitals and more than 200 clinics, along with out-of-state physician partners. An individual plan will be offered on and off the state's Affordable Care Act exchange, and employer plans for large and small groups will also be available.
