## Claims

### AmeriHealth Caritas Next offers 8 ACA marketplace plans in LA (2026)

**DERIVED.** AmeriHealth Caritas Next (HIOS issuer 38246) lists 8 distinct plans (41 variants incl. CSR) in LA for 2026, across metal tiers Bronze, Expanded Bronze, Gold, Silver, plan types HMO, markets Individual. A faithful COUNT over the CMS ACA Plan Attributes PUF rows: occurred=true (the count replays from the records), but adjudged=FALSE — Atlas Commons enumerated this; CMS published the plan rows, not this per-issuer total.

Source: CMS ACA Plan Attributes PUF (2026) — https://www.cms.gov/marketplace/resources/data/public-use-files
Falsifier: occurred=TRUE: a faithful COUNT/SUM/total over the named record set that introduces NO modeling choice — it IS the case in the record. adjudged=FALSE: Atlas Commons computed the aggregate; CMS ACA Plan Attributes PUF (2026) published the underlying records, NOT this figure. Re-count it from the named source to verify. Distinct from a median/ratio/index (which picks a population, weighting, denominator, or threshold — a constructed statistic → 'derived', occurred=FALSE) and from an authority-published total (→ 'recorded', adjudged=TRUE).

### AmeriHealth Caritas Next's typical Silver plan in LA is $707/mo for a 40-year-old (sticker)

**DERIVED.** The median Silver-tier sticker premium for a 40-year-old, individual, non-tobacco across AmeriHealth Caritas Next's LA plans is $707/mo (the LA median across all issuers is $771/mo). An IN-HOUSE MEDIAN over RECORDED CMS Rate PUF sticker rates (occurred=false: a computed aggregate; adjudged=FALSE — Atlas Commons computes this median; CMS publishes the individual rates, not this issuer-level median). STICKER = full pre-subsidy price; most enrollees pay less after income-based tax credits, and net cost is never estimated here.

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a calculation, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (a transparent in-house formula, not an authority's verdict — no external adjudicator). Reproduce it from its named inputs; falsified if the formula or inputs are wrong. Lower warrant than the adjudged figures above.

### What this ACA issuer profile is — and is NOT

**INTERPRETATION.** This page shows the plan footprint and typical sticker premium for AmeriHealth Caritas Next on the LA ACA marketplace for 2026. It is a REFERENCE profile of what the issuer offers — NOT a recommendation, ranking, or advice. Premiums shown are sticker prices; most enrollees pay less after income-based tax credits. Net cost is never estimated here. To compare plans and enroll, visit healthcare.gov.

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (an in-house reading, not an authority's verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. A flat representation would render this identically to the official facts; the four-status does not.
