Effective 1/1/26: Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP) is transitioning to an aligned Dual Special Needs Plan

Date: 10/24/25

Beginning January 1, 2026, Superior HealthPlan will launch an aligned Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) in Texas. As directed by CMS, our current Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP), STAR+PLUS MMP will sunset on December 31, 2025. Members will automatically be transitioned into the new aligned D-SNP, called Wellcare By Superior HealthPlan.

Like MMP, this new plan is designed for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, allowing their benefits to be coordinated and managed by a single healthcare organization.
