Company Vision
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana (BCBSLA) is fully aware of the increasingly urgent national issues regarding the affordability of healthcare, the numbers of uninsured and the quality of health services rendered. BCBSLA is active at providing education and guidance, thereby helping to shape the healthcare reform legislation.

Consistent with its mission and the leadership role BCBSLA plays within the healthcare community of Louisiana, BCBSLA will collaborate with other business and community leaders to move Louisiana to a quality-driven model of healthcare. Such a model will engage the powerful forces of well designed information, patient engagement, provider professionalism and financial incentives to improve health outcomes, eliminate wasteful and preventable care, enable greater universality of care, and promote patient-centered care which addresses diverse patient needs and values.

At the same time, BCBSLA will undertake its own initiatives which will

• Increase our capabilities to moderate the rising cost of healthcare;
• Make available to the marketplace more affordable products;
• Promote health literacy, wellness and consumer health management;
• Partner with providers for improving health and transparency and;
• Continuously improve the cost, quality and value of the services we deliver.
