In the world of health insurance, Monroe Plan stands out with its unique and nationally recognized approach to providing health care services.
Monroe Plan serves individuals and families who need health care coverage and may not have access to or be readily able to afford employer sponsored or direct pay health insurance. Monroe Plan has members who are covered by three state government programs which are often referred to as safety net programs for their role in helping vulnerable populations.
Monroe Plan partners or contracts with health insurance organizations to manage their safety net programs. Our members come to us through these partner organizations. Once a person enrolls in Medicaid Managed Care, Child Health Plus, or Family Health Plus with one of our partner organizations, Monroe Plan steps in to manage that person’s health care. Our employees take an active role in facilitating access to high quality health care services for all our members, empowering members to take an active role in their health, fostering effective partnerships between patients and providers, supporting caregivers in delivering high quality services, and collaborating with community groups on issues affecting the health needs of patients and their families.
