Louisiana Healthcare Connections is expanding its meal delivery services to improve the health outcomes of women with high-risk pregnancies who face food insecurity. This new offering builds on the health plan’s existing meal benefit, which provides nutritious, medically tailored meals to members recovering after a hospital stay.
The post-discharge component of the benefit remains available to all eligible members and includes:
· Two meals per day for seven days following hospital discharge
· Medically tailored meals that align with each member’s specific health needs
· Protein shakes provided as needed to support recovery and nutrition goals
All meals are designed by registered dietitians and prepared to support recovery, manage chronic conditions, and promote better overall health. The expanded prenatal benefit is part of Louisiana Healthcare Connections’ commitment to addressing the drivers of health that affect member outcomes, including food insecurity.
