A not-for-profit Medicare Advantage health plan, SCAN serves more than 285,000 enrollees across California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. It also covers more than 48,400 individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, which include dually eligible special needs plan enrollees. Listen to SCAN’s former Chief Medical Officer – Dr. Romilla Batra – share insights about SCAN’s initiatives to reduce health care disparities and its broader data-driven strategies to advance health equity.
