About Superior HealthPlan
Superior HealthPlan is the only managed care organization in Texas to provide healthcare services for children and youth in foster care. Under a contract with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Superior works with clinics and hospitals statewide to ensure every child has access to essential care. This includes primary care providers, behavioral health specialists, and vision services.
Superior HealthPlan offers managed healthcare coverage to nearly 2 million Texas residents in all 254 state counties. Since 1999, Superior has taken a members-first approach to health care by focusing on the whole health of the individual and forming community partnerships to support their members, one person at a time. It’s why Superior HealthPlan is one of the leading Medicaid plans in Texas. And for a fourth consecutive year, Superior has also been designated a Best Place for Working Parents as part of an initiative supported by Early Matters Greater Austin, United Way for Greater Austin and E3 Alliance.
