The company reports operations across 9 states + DC and serves an estimated 1.4K total members while operating with 0 affiliated subsidiaries.

First Continental Life & Acc's US revenue footprint is concentrated in a small set of states rather than broadly distributed, and it also reports a modest international exposure to Aggregate Other Alien totaling $21.8K. This mix highlights a business that is primarily focused on targeted state markets with limited scale nationally.

Premium by Scope

First Continental Life & Acc is overwhelmingly concentrated in the US states and DC, with $11.23M representing essentially the entire premium footprint. The foreign exposure is minimal at $21.8K, indicating only a token presence outside the US.

This concentration implies that providers and contracting teams should focus on state-level relationships and network adequacy within the payer's core states rather than expecting broad national leverage. The tiny foreign premium is unlikely to materially affect provider negotiations or network strategy.

First Continental Life & Acc's premium is highly concentrated in a few states, with $5.14M in Louisiana, $4.29M in Texas, and $1.31M in Missouri combining for the majority of US premium. The estimated membership total is 1.4K, reinforcing that this payer operates at small scale relative to national competitors.

For provider contracting, this concentration means negotiating leverage will vary dramatically by state. In Louisiana and Texas, the payer represents a meaningful local counterparty for network participation, while in other states the payer is a minor presence and will have limited influence on regional rate dynamics.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) established federally-facilitated health insurance marketplaces ("exchanges") where individuals and small businesses can shop for and enroll in health plans, often with income-based subsidies. Issuers that participate in these marketplaces are required to report enrollment, claims, and denial data to CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) each year.

The sections below cover this payer's ACA marketplace-specific footprint — enrollment, plan portfolio, and claims/denial-rate data. This is a narrower, separate population from the NAIC-based commercial data shown earlier on this page (total premium, market share, and membership across all lines of business): ACA marketplace enrollment is typically a small fraction of a payer's total commercial book, and the two datasets should not be treated as equivalent. CMS claims-transparency reporting has also been inconsistent industry-wide since 2020 — many issuers have little or no data for 2021 onward, so a single reporting year is common and does not necessarily indicate anything about the payer's current ACA presence.

Estimated Member Demographics

Nationally, the largest age bands are 6–18 (218 members), 35–44 (206 members), and 45–54 (190 members), indicating a strong presence among children and working-age adults. The smallest age bands are Under 6 (84 members) and 75+ (70 members), reflecting limited coverage of very young children and seniors.

State-level profiles show Louisiana and Texas as the most significant contributors to the member base, with both states having a similar age distribution. Missouri also has a notable member count, but the remaining states have very small populations, often fewer than 10 members. No state skews dramatically older or younger, but the overall mix is weighted toward families and adults rather than seniors.
