Superior’s statewide Foster Care and CHIP Rural Service Area (RSA) products, as well as its Dallas STAR+PLUS program, will continue under contracts that were previously awarded as part of earlier bid processes.  Superior’s total membership in Texas as of June 30, 2011 was 470,400.

All of these service areas and products will now include the management of the pharmacy benefit for Superior’s members.  In addition, the state has added inpatient facility services to the managed care structure for the STAR+PLUS program.

Tom Wise, President and Chief Executive Officer of Superior said, “We look forward to continuing to serve the state, our members and our provider network while expanding into additional areas of Texas and delivering quality healthcare programs.”

“Centene is pleased to extend our distinctive and personalized healthcare model to this larger population,” said Michael Neidorff, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Centene, “while ensuring access and continuing to save the state money.
