SCAN Health Plan to Enter Nevada, Arizona Markets
SCAN Health Plan, a California-based Medicare Advantage insurer, will expand into Arizona and Nevada in 2022.
This is the first time that Long Beach-based SCAN, which has 220,000 members in California, has expanded its reach beyond California.
SCAN is also growing its footprint in two new California counties, Alameda and San Mateo, bringing its total reach to more than five million potential customers across 17 markets in three states.
In the coming year, SCAN Health Plan (Nevada) and SCAN Desert Health Plan (Arizona) will offer plans in Clark County, Nevada, and Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties in Arizona.
The expansion is a key element of SCAN’s growth and diversification initiatives. The not-for-profit health plan recently announced several new business initiatives, including Welcome Health, a start-up geriatric primary care medical group that will treat older adults through a combination of virtual and in-home visits, and Healthcare in Action, a medical group that will provide healthcare and other services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
SCAN Group also recently announced a series of investments in outside companies that share its mission to support healthier aging, including MedArrive, a healthcare logistics and services platform that enables payers and providers to leverage a network of EMTs, paramedics and other types of skilled healthcare workers to extend care services into the home, improving patient outcomes while empowering an underutilized segment of the healthcare workforce.
