Scott & White Health Plan

Why do so many members rely on Scott & White Health Plan?

SWHP has been named one of the Highest Ranked Health Plans in Texas by the U.S. News & World Report¹ for the fourth year in a row². Our Medicare plan was rated the best in Texas.¹

SWHP has earned an "Excellent Accreditation" from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for both Commercial and Medicare products (2000-2008). This is SWHP's 8th consecutive year with "Excellent Accreditation".

SWHP received the highest rating of any Central Texas Health Maintenance Organization for "How People Rated Their Health Plan" and "How Well Doctors Communicate," (Office of Public Insurance Counsel, "Comparing Texas HMOs 2008").

SWHP is below the Texas average for complaints received from members and providers compared with Texas HMOs with more than 50,000 enrollees (Office of Public Insurance Counsel, "Comparing Texas HMOs 2008").

SWHP is ranked #1 in Texas for breast cancer screening, colorectal cancer screening, diabetic eye exams, well child visits in the first 15 months of life, and adolescent well child visits. SWHP is among the top 5 Texas HMOs for childhood immunizations (both combination 2 and 3), cervical cancer screening, persistence of beta blocker after a heart attack, cholesterol management, and diabetes measures to include LDL below 100, blood pressure below 130/80 and 140/90 (Guide to Texas HMO Quality: 2008).

SWHP was recognized by the Texas Diabetes Council for 3 consecutive years (2006 through 2008) for exceeding the Texas average in all six comprehensive diabetes care measures.

SWHP was assigned an A- (Excellent) rating by AM Best following an extensive review of SWHP's financial strength, operating performance and market profile (2008).

SWHP was profiled by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) in two publications: Quality Profiles Focus in 2007 and Innovations in Prevention, Wellness and Risk Reduction in 2008 for our efforts to reduce school absenteeism through a Hand Washing Initiative.
