A Kentucky nonprofit that emerged as one of the largest insurance providers on the state’s health exchange has given notice that it won’t offer plans for 2016, a decision affecting tens of thousands of customers ahead of the next enrollment period starting in a few weeks.

State health officials said Friday that current policyholders with Kentucky Health Cooperative will continue being covered through their existing policies, most of which expire Dec. 31, 2015.
