Urbana, Ill.-based Carle Health has shared plans to lay off 612 employees within its insurance division by July 8, according to a May 8 WARN notice.
In late February, Carle Health’s subsidiary, Health Alliance, and Southern Pines, N.C.-based FirstCarolinaCare said they would stop offering all insurance plans after 2025, with the exception of Medicare Advantage.
“As Health Alliance and FirstCarolinaCare continue to wind down operations, the organization will reduce staff on a rolling basis to maintain full support of member services throughout the remainder of 2025,” a spokesperson for the health system said in a May 12 statement shared with Becker’s. “Carle Health will continue to help team members as they transition into new professional opportunities.”
Carle Health operates eight hospitals and employs more than 16,800 people, according to its website.
