We serve families throughout Frisco, Carrollton, The Colony, Lewisville, Little Elm, Highland Village, Addison, Farmers Branch, and Coppell.

What Is Superior HealthPlan Medicaid?

Superior HealthPlan is one of the largest Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) in Texas. It operates as a subsidiary of Centene Corporation under contract with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Superior administers benefits for members enrolled in several Medicaid programs across the state.

Many families ask: Is Texas Medicaid the same as Superior HealthPlan? The short answer is no — but they are closely connected. Texas Medicaid is the state-funded program. Superior HealthPlan is one of the private managed care organizations the state has contracted to deliver Medicaid benefits to enrolled members. If you selected Superior as your managed care plan, Superior coordinates and authorizes your Medicaid home health benefits.

Superior administers four main Medicaid program types in Texas:

• STAR — for low-income families, children, and pregnant women
• STAR+PLUS — for adults who are aged, blind, or have a disability, combining acute care and long-term services
• STAR Kids — for children with disabilities who have complex medical needs
• CHIP — Children's Health Insurance Program for children in families that earn too much for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance

Each program includes home health benefits when services are medically necessary and physician-ordered. Superior Medicaid home health care in Frisco and Carrollton requires prior authorization, and our clinical intake team manages that process from start to finish.

Does Medicaid Pay for In-Home Care in Texas?

Yes. Texas Medicaid — including Superior HealthPlan — covers medically necessary home health services for eligible members. Coverage includes skilled nursing visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and home health aide services when a physician has ordered them and Superior has authorized the care.

For STAR+PLUS members, coverage extends further to include personal attendant services and community-based long-term supports — in addition to standard home health benefits. This makes STAR+PLUS particularly important for seniors in Frisco, Carrollton, and surrounding neighborhoods like Stonebriar and Starwood who want to remain at home despite chronic conditions or physical limitations.

Superior Medicaid home health care in Frisco and Carrollton is available to members of all ages. From seniors managing congestive heart failure or recovering from a stroke to children with medically complex needs under STAR Kids, home-based care is a covered benefit when medical necessity is established.

Home Health Services Covered Through Superior Medicaid

BrightStar Care of Frisco/Carrollton provides the following services for Superior Medicaid members throughout the service area. All services are delivered under the supervision of a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who oversees every care plan.

Skilled Nursing

Our registered nurses deliver wound care, IV therapy, medication management, chronic disease monitoring, post-surgical care, catheter management, and diabetic care and education. Every nursing visit is documented to meet Superior Medicaid's clinical and compliance standards. Care plans are developed by RNs and followed by CNAs, HHAs, and LVNs — making the chain of clinical accountability clear on every case.

Rehabilitation Therapy

Physical therapists restore mobility, strength, and balance after hospitalization, surgery, or injury. Occupational therapists address daily living activities, home safety, and adaptive equipment. Speech-language pathologists treat communication disorders, swallowing dysfunction, and cognitive deficits. All therapy services are delivered at home, in the neighborhoods where our patients live.

Home Health Aide Services

Certified nursing assistants provide personal care assistance — bathing, grooming, dressing, transfers, mobility support, meal preparation, medication reminders, and light housekeeping — under RN supervision as part of the overall care plan authorized by Superior.

Pediatric Home Health

For Superior STAR Kids and STAR members, our pediatric-trained nursing team delivers specialized care for children with complex medical needs. Services include ventilator management, feeding tube care, tracheostomy care, medication administration, and developmental support. We coordinate directly with Superior's STAR Kids service coordinator to align home health with the child's complete care plan.

For families whose children receive Cook Children's Medicaid home health care in Frisco/Carrollton, we can help you understand your coverage options and determine whether Superior HealthPlan is coordinating your benefits.

How Superior Medicaid Home Health Authorization Works

Getting Superior Medicaid home health care started in Frisco or Carrollton involves a prior authorization process. BrightStar Care of Frisco/Carrollton manages every step so families are not navigating this alone.

Step 1 — Physician order. Your doctor determines that home health services are medically necessary and writes a treatment order. This order is the foundation for the authorization request.

Step 2 — Benefits verification. Our intake team contacts Superior HealthPlan to confirm your enrollment status, program type (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids, or CHIP), and specific home health benefits.

Step 3 — Prior authorization submission. We submit a prior authorization request to Superior's utilization management team, including the physician's order and supporting clinical documentation.

Step 4 — Authorization review. Superior reviews the request against Texas Medicaid medical necessity criteria. Standard decisions arrive within three to five business days. Expedited review is available for urgent situations — including hospital discharges from facilities like Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Frisco or Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Centennial.

Step 5 — Care begins. Once authorized, our clinical team schedules an in-home assessment within 24 to 48 hours. A registered nurse visits the patient, evaluates their condition, reviews medications, performs a home safety assessment, and creates a detailed care plan.

Step 6 — Re-authorization. We submit re-authorization requests proactively before each approval period expires, using updated clinical data that demonstrates ongoing medical necessity.

For STAR+PLUS members who receive both acute and long-term services through Superior, our team coordinates with Superior's service coordinator to ensure home health complements the member's broader care plan — including any community-based services they may already be receiving in neighborhoods like The Hills of Kingswood or Frisco Square.
