SCAN Health Plan is a not-for-profit Medicare Advantage organisation serving more than 500,000 older adults across six states with HMO, D-SNP and supplemental benefit plans.
SCAN Health Plan is a not-for-profit Medicare Advantage organization that provides health plans and supportive services aimed at keeping older adults healthy and independent. Founded in 1977 by a group of twelve activists in Long Beach, California - known as the "12 Angry Seniors" - the organisation describes itself as one of the nation's largest not-for-profit Medicare Advantage organisations and now serves more than 500,000 members.
The company's core offering is its Medicare Advantage HMO plans, first launched in 1984 for seniors, with benefits designed for older adults including dental, vision, hearing and fitness. It also offers Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) for dual-eligible individuals, alongside additional plan options intended to fit diverse needs. Beyond clinical coverage, SCAN works through community partnerships spanning healthcare, housing, transportation and culturally relevant programmes for diverse older adults.
SCAN operates across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Washington. Its culture is rooted in its grassroots, community-activist origins: the organisation describes itself as mission-driven and "rebellious", with a stated commitment to keeping seniors healthy and independent.
