Providence shuts down most insurance businesses for 2027

Rebecca Pifer Parduhn / healthcaredive - The nonprofit giant has offered health insurance for decades. But recent challenges, including higher costs and regulatory changes, have placed Providence in an untenable position, according to the integrated system’s CEO.

AI Summary: Providence announced plans to shut down or substantially scale back its insurance businesses by 2027, citing unsustainable operations and strategic misalignment.
