Superior HealthPlan would like to remind providers that no changes are being made to STAR, STAR Health, STAR Kids, and Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) in the Bexar SDA. Superior continues to serve members in these Medicaid plans.
This reminder is due to the STAR+PLUS contract changes, effective September 1, 2024. Superior will no longer provide STAR+PLUS coverage to members in the Bexar SDA, which includes the following counties: Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina, and Wilson. For more information, please review Superior’s STAR+PLUS: Contract Award Updates notice.
Superior would like to emphasize that the STAR+PLUS change will not impact the following Medicaid plans: STAR, STAR Health, STAR Kids, and CHIP.
Important things to note:
