Research and Markets: New Orleans, LA Healthcare Market Overview

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nf49kh/new_orleans_la) has announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc's new report "New Orleans, LA Healthcare Market Overview" to their offering.

Significant changes are on the horizon for the New Orleans market. Major cuts to the Medicaid budget will affect access to healthcare for the region's large population of poor and uninsured residents, and reduced funding for the market's safety-net hospital will put pressure on New Orleans' other health systems to fill gaps in care. However, access to healthcare in the market will improve as new hospitals open to replace facilities lost during Hurricane Katrina, which will also attract physicians and researchers to the market. Small premium increases and continued enrollment in high-deductible health plans will keep enrollment relatively stable for the market's top insurers and for employers. New Orleans may attempt to expand Medicaid eligibility in four of its parishes, even as the governor of Louisiana says the state will opt out of the expansion.
