Colorado, North Carolina Put Friday Health Into Receivership

  • Jun 23, 2023

    North Carolina and Colorado recently became the latest in a string of states that have taken over the reins of Friday Health Plans Management Services Company, Inc.’s subsidiaries in a bid to ensure consumers and providers aren’t harmed by the insurer’s implosion. The company’s downfall has implications for health insurers, too, as they may not receive the risk-adjustment funds they’re expecting if Friday can’t pay its share, an industry expert previously told AIS Health. 

    Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey said June 20 that Friday Health Plans of North Carolina Inc. “consented to being placed into receivership to protect North Carolina policyholders due to its reported insolvency and inability to raise additional funds from outside investors.” Technically, the action is not yet completed, as the state said it filed its receivership petition with the Wake County Superior Court and will post the order on the North Carolina Dept. of Insurance's website once it is signed.
