Since 1999, Austin-based Superior HealthPlan has provided quality, affordable healthcare coverage in communities across Texas. As part of the Centene family, Superior has more than 3,000 employees across the state, offering nine products to more than 1.5 million members. No matter how much we grow, our mission remains the same: transforming the health of the communities we serve, one person at a time. Our programs focus on mental and physical wellness to provide members with access to the personalized care they need. It’s why Superior has been among the top-rated Medicaid health plans in Texas since 2015, earning a score of 3.5 or higher on a 5.0 scale on the National Committee for Quality Assurance Medicaid Health Insurance Plan Ratings. This includes a score of 3.5 for 2026. Superior is also proud to support grassroots organizations in our own backyard through fundraising and volunteering. For example, our dedicated community outreach team organizes, sponsors, or hosts approximately 2,000 events each year, and we provide more than $1 million in annual funding to support low-income families and neighborhoods. It’s how we help our neighbors build a stronger, healthier future. In partnership with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Superior provides health care to individuals and families in all 254 Texas counties. This includes becoming the first managed organization in the country to offer statewide Medicaid coverage to children and youth in foster care through STAR Health, a program managed by Superior since 2008. Additionally, Superior offers STAR, CHIP, CHIP Perinate, STAR+PLUS and STAR Kids as well as health care through Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace.
