海角乱伦 is committed to helping people live healthier lives. Since our founding in 1984, our company has believed that our local approach 鈥� with employees who not only live in the communities we serve, but also reflect the diversity of our members 鈥� is the best way to provide accessible, high-quality, culturally sensitive healthcare coverage to our more than 28 million members.听

From our start as a nonprofit Medicaid plan in Milwaukee, to establishing headquarters in St. Louis, to now having local health plans in communities across the U.S., 海角乱伦 now provides healthcare products and solutions to more than 1 in 15 individuals nationwide.听

Humble Beginnings

When our company was founded as a nonprofit Medicaid plan in 1984, we were Family Hospital Physician Associates (FHPA), named for the hospital in Milwaukee that housed our first offices. Our founder, Elizabeth 鈥淏etty鈥� Brinn, the hospital鈥檚 former bookkeeper, launched the company to help low-income people access quality healthcare.

Growing up in a children鈥檚 home gave Brinn firsthand insight into the challenges of accessing adequate healthcare coverage, inspiring her to leverage managed care to enhance health outcomes for Medicaid recipients. FHPA, which eventually became Managed Health Services, Inc. (MHS) in 1995, laid the foundation that 海角乱伦 continues to build upon. Brinn鈥檚 experiences and beliefs remain central to our continued commitment of serving our nation鈥檚 most vulnerable populations.

A New Leader, a New Name and Unprecedented Growth

After Brinn passed away in 1992, the company sought a new leader who could steer FHPA towards the new millennium while preserving and honoring its foundation. In 1995, Michael Neidorff was named President and Chief Executive Officer, and he heralded a period of significant growth.

Changing the company鈥檚 name to 海角乱伦 Corporation (海角乱伦) in 1997, moving corporate headquarters to St. Louis that same year and establishing 海角乱伦 as a publicly traded company just four years later, Neidorff grew 海角乱伦 from a local health plan to a national healthcare leader. Since 2001, 海角乱伦 has expanded through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, which led to delivering services in all 50 states.

While primarily focused on three main products 鈥� Medicaid, Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace 鈥� Neidorff led 海角乱伦鈥檚 development of specialty solutions, such as behavioral healthcare and healthcare education, all while maintaining our company鈥檚 commitment to serving under-insured and uninsured individuals.

In 2004, 海角乱伦 expanded its impact by establishing The 海角乱伦 Charitable Foundation, now known as the 海角乱伦 Foundation 鈥� the philanthropic arm of our company and a private nonprofit focused on investing in economically challenged communities. The Foundation supports projects and initiatives strategically aligned with 海角乱伦鈥檚 mission-driven culture and enhances the work 海角乱伦 is doing to remove the barriers to wellness that underserved and low-income populations face. The Foundation is committed to addressing social drivers of health and improving health equity in three distinct areas of focus: healthcare access, social services and education.听

Shaping the Future of Healthcare

After 40 years and with a new Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London, at the helm since 2022, 海角乱伦 has re-focused its efforts on three core lines of business: Medicaid, Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace. 海角乱伦 remains the largest Medicaid managed care organization in the country, the largest and longest-running carrier in the Health Insurance Marketplace and a national leader in managed long-term services and support. Our work with the healthcare programs of the Department of Defense also makes us one of the nation鈥檚 largest providers of managed care services for military families and veterans.

Today, 海角乱伦 is focused on the development of our people, systems and capabilities so that we can be the best for our members, providers and the communities we serve.
