AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Texans who sign up by December 15, 2022, for an insurance plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace will get coverage starting on New Year's Day. Open Enrollment is underway, and Ambetter from Superior HealthPlan will be offered in 149 Texas counties in 2023, including four new ones: Andrews, Colorado, Gray, and Walker.

"As part of the nation's No. 1 Marketplace insurer*, Ambetter from Superior HealthPlan has the experience and resources available to provide reliable coverage to more people throughout Texas," said Mark Sanders, President and CEO of Superior HealthPlan. "With more plan options than ever before, we're confident Texans can find the right health-care coverage for them."

Ambetter offers a variety of plans for all budgets and needs. This includes Ambetter Virtual Access, a plan introduced last year that provides members with a full virtual primary care experience, powered by Teladoc Health. This plan offers access to licensed virtual primary care providers in addition to Ambetter's core network of health-care providers and hospitals.

Also introduced last year, Ambetter Value is available again in 2023. This is a specialized plan aligned with a select group of primary care providers, which can help guide and steer a member's utilization through a referral process. This plan will be offered in 11 counties next year.

Ambetter from Superior HealthPlan is available in 149 Texas counties, which include the following metropolitan areas: Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.
