Elevance Health plans to eliminate 216 jobs in Metairie, Louisiana, by the end of 2026.
Becker’s September 21 report, citing a company statement and a September 15 filing, ties the cuts to the company’s withdrawal from Louisiana’s Medicaid business. The separations are scheduled for the end of the year.
