📣 SCAN Health Plan now ranks among the top 10 Medicare Advantage plans nationally!   “This is a defining moment in SCAN’s nearly five-decade history,” said @sacjai, CEO of SCAN Group and SCAN Health Plan. “In a turbulent environment for MA, our growth and market position shows that there is a place for nonprofit health plans built around the needs of those they serve and not shareholders. Rising into the top 10 nationally demonstrates the essential role for mission-driven, nonprofit plans in the future of Medicare Advantage.”   This leap follows a historic Annual Enrollment Period growth in SCAN’s history, during which SCAN added 127,000 new members.   “Our rise in the rankings reflects more than enrollment growth, it reflects trust,” said Karen Schulte, SCAN’s President of Medicare. “Hundreds of thousands of older adults have chosen SCAN, and we are committed to showing them the value of our nonprofit mission, our commitment to service, and our focus on quality and improving health outcomes. This milestone proves that scale and mission are not mutually exclusive. You can grow while staying true to purpose.”   Read more at: scanhealthplan.com/about-sca…

“The opportunity here is for us to collaborate closely to keep people out of the hospital... through a higher degree of collaboration and partnership between healthcare professionals and facility operators to ensure that members remain healthy and independent... we are really thinking about acting like one and operating like one, ”   SCAN CEO @sacjai provides insight into the shared vision behind SCAN and @TheSpringsLivin's partnership in this @_McKnightsSL article from @Lois_Bowers: mcknightsseniorliving.com/ne…

SCAN is excited to announce the appointment of Dr. Gabriel Waterman as its Chief Clinical Officer.   “Health plans have traditionally viewed their clinical responsibility through the lens of paying claims, managing utilization and measuring quality after the fact... Dr. Waterman understands that improving health requires us to take greater ownership of whether our members receive the care they need. That starts with something as fundamental as connecting every member to a primary care provider, but it extends much further to how we support members during hospitalization, help them safely return home and intervene when they need more than what the traditional healthcare system can provide.” said SCAN CEO @sacjai.   In his new role, Dr. Waterman will oversee SCAN’s clinical programs as SCAN makes a meaningful shift to taking greater ownership of the clinical outcomes for its members. His work will focus on advancing SCAN’s clinical strategy and evolving how a health plan can more directly improve the health and care experience of its members.   Read more at: scanhealthplan.com/about-sca…

Easier access. Easier navigation. Better coordination.   SCAN CEO @sacjai shares how SCAN's nearly 50 years of experience in serving older adults with complex healthcare needs combined with @TheSpringsLivin's expertise in creating environments where older adults can thrive will impact residents in Oregon.   Read more at: scanhealthplan.com/about-sca…

🏘️ SCAN is announcing a new partnership with @TheSpringsLivin, a senior living organization serving communities across the Pacific Northwest.   “Going to an emergency room for something that could have been prevented in our homes can be traumatic, especially as an older person. Our partnership with SCAN will disrupt that failed system for older adults by bringing healthcare to where people live by combining SCAN’s healthcare expertise, focused on prevention, with The Springs Living’s 30 years of building award winning environments to live and be supported as an older adult.” Said Fee Stubblefield, Founder and CEO of The Springs Living.   The partnership marks SCAN’s expansion into Oregon’s Clackamas and Washington counties. In addition, SCAN and The Springs Living will launch co-branded products that will be available January 1, 2027, designed to closely connect healthcare with the day-to-day support older adults receive in senior living communities.   To learn more about this partnership, visit scanhealthplan.com/about-sca…

SCAN and @Walmart are announcing a strategic collaboration to launch a co-branded Medicare Advantage plan in two states, with the plan expected to be available to more than two million Medicare enrollees.   “Walmart has been helping customers navigate Medicare choices for more than a decade,” said @pravenenath, group director for consumer health and data solutions at Walmart U.S. “What makes this collaboration unique is Walmart’s role in customers’ everyday lives. Because customers regularly turn to Walmart for groceries and other everyday essentials, we have an opportunity for those who choose to participate, to use insights from their shopping experiences to make nutrition guidance more relevant and actionable. Combined with Walmart’s breadth across food, pharmacy, vision and other health and wellness services, and SCAN’s deep Medicare expertise, we can create a more connected experience that helps older adults take action on their health goals as part of their everyday routines.”   To learn more about this collaboration, visit: scanhealthplan.com/about-sca…

❓Question of the day: What if #MedicareAdvantage members could choose to lock in their coverage for three years in exchange for gaining richer benefits, more stability, and in turn, better long-term health outcomes? In their latest @JAMAHealthForum article, SCAN CEO @sacjai, Dr. @DhruvKhullar, and Dr. Amelia M. Bond share their ideas around a voluntary three-year enrollment option, and how an alternative timeline could provide beneficiaries access to enhanced benefits and stability, while encouraging health plans to invest more in long-term prevention and chronic care.   Read their viewpoint here: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

"...what we're trying to do with Costco is create a higher degree of transparency and reliability around the benefits... and actually bring people to use their benefits at a store they already love and shop at."   SCAN CEO @sacjai shares details around SCAN and @Costco's partnership with @YahooFinance’s @joshuahlipton.   📺 View the full clip here: finance.yahoo.com/video/heal…

⭐ The growing number of legal disputes over #MedicareAdvantage Star Ratings signals a need to restructure the Stars program. As SCAN CEO @sacjai and Chief Legal Officer Renee Delphin-Rodriguez explain in their @Health_Affairs piece, the current system’s complexity and instability not only affect health plans, but also have real consequences for members who rely on these ratings for quality care. Read their observations and guidance here: healthaffairs.org/content/fo…

@Costco and @SCANHealthPlan are partnering to develop jointly branded Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement products designed to make Medicare simpler, more accessible and better connected to everyday health needs. By combining Costco’s trusted reputation for quality and value with SCAN’s nearly 50 years of experience serving older adults, we aim to create a more intuitive experience for choosing coverage and accessing services such as pharmacy, vision and hearing care. Specific benefits, markets and timing remain subject to regulatory approval. I joined @YahooFinance’s @joshuahlipton to discuss the partnership and the opportunity ahead.

People who know me know that I am a genuine Costco superfan. So this is a surreal sentence to write: @Costco and @SCANHealthPlan are working together to develop jointly branded Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement products. @annawmathews of @WSJ broke the news today. Costco has built something exceedingly rare: trust at scale. Its members believe that if Costco puts its name on something, it has been carefully vetted for quality and value. That trust was earned one decision and one member experience at a time. That is exactly the kind of trust healthcare desperately needs. SCAN has spent nearly 50 years serving older adults. Now, we have an opportunity to pair our deep Medicare expertise with one of the most trusted consumer brands in America and explore whether choosing and using Medicare coverage can become simpler, more intuitive and more connected to people’s everyday lives. Because of federal regulations, we cannot yet share details about benefits, locations or timing. We will say more as soon as we are permitted. But I can say this: at a moment when many health plans are retreating from Medicare, SCAN is leaning in with ambition, discipline and a commitment to doing things differently. I’m enormously grateful to the Costco and SCAN teams who made this possible. Professionally, this is a major milestone. Personally, for a longtime Costco superfan, it is just incredibly cool.

"We did." That's what SCAN CEO Sachin Jain said when asked who broke the healthcare system. His meaning was clear: those of us in healthcare share responsibility, and that means we also share responsibility for fixing it. He challenged the industry to confront the gap between what healthcare organizations say and what patients actually experience, arguing that meaningful reform begins with honesty and accountability. "I don't want to be a hypocrite anymore. That's the journey that we have to take the industry on." At SCAN, we believe creating a better healthcare system starts with acknowledging what's not working and committing to meaningful change.
