Your Voice Matters! Join Our Member Advisory Council.

Date: 11/01/24

You can help us improve the way your health plan works. Louisiana Healthcare Connections has a Member Advisory Council that gives members like you a chance to share your thoughts and ideas. We also welcome family and caregivers of members who can speak on behalf of their loved ones.

Members of the Member Advisory Council come from across the state. They represent the communities we serve and have a range of health needs and life experiences.

We are looking for members to join our 2025 Member Advisory Council.

Your feedback can tell us what we are doing well. It can also help us know what we need to improve. Members of the council can receive up to $150 in incentives for participating. If you are interested in joining, let us know by filling out a short form.

I’m interested in joining the Member Advisory Council.
