Founded over 40 years ago in Long Beach, California, as a single clinic, what began as a modest operation has grown into a multi-state managed care organisation serving approximately 5 million members across the United States. The company operates exclusively within government-sponsored health care programmes, managing coverage through both administrative structures and direct care coordination for those enrolled in its offerings.
As a Fortune 500 organisation, it administers health plans across three distinct government programmes: medicaid for low-income individuals and families, medicare for seniors and certain disabled populations, and plans offered through the Health Insurance marketplace. This concentrated focus on publicly funded programmes positions the company as a substantial presence in the administrative healthcare sector, particularly for populations with historically limited access to consistent care.
The company's operational approach emphasises collaboration and integrity across its multi-state network. Its culture reflects sustained attention to the practical healthcare challenges faced by low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, alongside a commitment to delivering care with cultural sensitivity. The team's stated mission - to provide quality healthcare to those who need it most - shapes decisions around program administration and member support across its growing portfolio of government-sponsored plans.
