With more than 2 million members, Superior has
grown into the largest Medicaid managed care
organization in Texas.
AUSTIN,
Texas, Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Superior HealthPlan ("Superior"), the leading managed care
organization in the state of Texas and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC), is
celebrating an important milestone – 25 years of delivering
high-quality, local health care to Texans across all 254 counties
throughout the state. Founded in 1999, Superior first served 3,400
members in El Paso and has since
grown into a statewide leader in managed care, offering
comprehensive, quality healthcare services through Medicaid,
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicare and the Health
Insurance Marketplace to over two million members in the state.
"We're incredibly proud to have been able to provide health care
to those who need it most over the past 25 years, growing from a
small health plan in El Paso to an
organization that now serves millions of people across Texas," said Superior President and CEO
Mark Sanders. "With more than 3,200
dedicated employees who live and work in the communities we serve,
we're committed to leading the way to an even healthier future for
Texans."
Since 2015, Superior has been one of the top-rated Medicaid
plans in Texas, maintaining a
rating of 3.5 or higher on a 5.0 scale according to
the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA) Medicaid Health Insurance Plan Ratings. Some of the
ways Superior delivers quality care and support to members
include:
- Continued assistance for the Uvalde community through a partnership with
the Centene Charitable Foundation to help fund the development of a
new community center.
- Start Smart for Your Baby® program to improve maternal and
newborn health.
- Good Measures' Food is Medicine program to support members with
hypertension or congestive heart failure.
- MedArrive's innovative home health program to improve the
health and quality of life for members with complex health
needs.
- Hazel Health's physical and mental health program to increase
access to care for students in San
Antonio.
With a focus on active local involvement, Superior partners with
community-based organizations to help Texans where and when they
need it most. For example, since 2020, Superior has provided more
than $500,000 to fund community
hygiene closets, which offer critically needed personal care items
to Texans at no cost. And, in 2023 alone, Superior provided nearly
$1 million in funding to
community-based organizations supporting low-income neighborhoods
and families across the state.
"Since we began 25 years ago, we've always looked for ways to
expand our specialized programs, services, and partnerships that
can help us positively impact Texas communities," said Sanders. "I'm proud
of our dedication to quality, innovation, and active local
involvement, which will allow us to continue to fulfill our mission
of transforming the health of the communities we serve, one person
at a time, for years to come."
