Overview
Mission
Community Health Choice is a local, nonprofit, managed care organization committed to helping improve the health and well-being of Texas residents. It was launched in 1997 by Harris Health System and offers affordable and no-cost health insurance plans in southeast Texas. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. **Insulin** , a **hormone** made by the **pancreas** , helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells. Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause **health problems**. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to **manage your diabetes** and stay healthy....

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
