Superior HealthPlan Celebrates 25 Years of Putting Members First

Date: 01/25/24

Superior HealthPlan (“Superior”), the leading managed care organization in 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. Founded in 1999, Superior first served 3,400 members in El Paso and has since expanded to offer comprehensive healthcare services through Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace to nearly two million members throughout 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:

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 nearly $550,000 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.”
