Culturally Competent Healthcare: Leading the Way in Personalized Care

.SCAN Affirm, in partnership with Included LGBTQ+ Health (HMO)*: The first Medicare Advantage plan for LGBTQ+ seniors.

.SCAN Allied (HMO), in partnership with Astrana Health*: A plan that offers a range of benefits tailored to support the Asian older adult population by connecting them to a network of culturally aligned providers, specialists and pharmacies.
Supporting the Homeless and Enabling Aging in Place
SCAN is committed to addressing the growing issue of homelessness among older adults and supporting seniors who wish to age in place:
.Healthcare for the Homeless: SCAN's multi-faceted approach includes the Connecting Provider to Home Program, which provides resources to meet health and social needs while contracting with community programs to address housing needs. Independence at Home's Homeless Services Program collaborates with over 80 community-based organizations to support the health, housing, and wellness needs of older adults who are not SCAN members. Healthcare in Action (HIA) is a street-based medical group offering healthcare, substance use, and mental health services to unhoused older adults through managed care.
.myPlace Health: In Spring 2024, SCAN opened myPlace Health, a care center operating under the federal PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model. This center provides comprehensive healthcare, adult day care, social activities, medications, transportation, and other benefits at no or low cost to seniors in Los Angeles, California allowing them to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
“SCAN's focus on innovative solutions and personalized care has not only set us apart but has also made a meaningful impact in the lives of our members,” said Karen Schulte, President of Medicare at SCAN.“We are grateful for this recognition and remain dedicated to our mission of ensuring that seniors have the support and resources they need to live their best lives.”
