The new national Allwell brand unites a family of local and regional Medicare plans under one umbrella, allowing Superior's network of experts and valued providers to deliver outstanding benefits and high-quality services to members across a spectrum of care.

Allwell from Superior HealthPlan will be available to residents in the following counties: Bexar, Cameron, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Hidalgo, Nueces, Rockwall, Smith and Tarrant.
