Advantage Physicians Healthcare Trust is making quality healthcare more accessible to Louisiana’s medical community

APHT was built on the idea that small group practices deserve the same perks afforded to bigger hospitals.

In 2021, with the support of the Louisiana State Medical Society and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, we created the state’s first fully-funded MEWA to offer quality healthcare a price that makes sense for everyone.

As we grow and build on our vision of quality, affordable insurance for Louisiana’s medical community, APHT’s committment will stay fixed on representing its memebers’ needs.
