Company History
Our Beginning
For more than 30 years SCAN Health Plan has been focusing on the unique needs of seniors. SCAN is a not-for-profit health plan dedicated to providing comprehensive medical coverage, prescription benefits and support services specifically designed to meet the needs of people on Medicare.
SCAN was founded in 1977 by a group of seniors who were frustrated by their lack of access to services and who wanted an organization that addressed their specific needs. These forward-thinking seniors formed the Senior Care Action Network, now known as SCAN Health Plan. The goal of the organization then was the same as it is today: to continue to find innovative ways to enhance seniors' ability to manage their health and to continue to control where and how they live. Since its inception, SCAN has provided the care needed to keep more than 50,000 seniors out of nursing homes. Today, SCAN is thriving and is one of the fastest growing health plans in the markets it serves.
Today
SCAN is based in Long Beach, California. The health plan has approximately 800 employees and serves close to 110,000 residents in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino San Diego and Ventura counties.
Also in Arizona, SCAN offers a health plan for Medicare and Medicaid-eligible individuals as part of the state’s long term care program in Maricopa county.
SCAN also manages one of the largest and most successful Multi-Purpose Senior Service Projects (MSSP) in California. The MSSP provides community-based, long- term care and personal care coordination for low-income frail seniors. A similar program managed by SCAN, called Linkages, provides case management and community services to support independence for disabled adults.
