Baylor Scott & White is getting out of the business of offering health insurance to Texas Medicaid and individual marketplace customers.
The two decisions will combine to affect about 225,000 customers and will result in the loss of 321 jobs.
Baylor Scott & White hospitals and clinics will continue to accept patients with other Medicaid and marketplace plans.
After careful consideration, Baylor Scott & White Health Plan (BSWHP) notified regulators and informed team members today of its intent to exit the Texas Medicaid Managed Care Program on August 31, 2026, and discontinue Individual Marketplace Plans after December 31, 2026.
This change reflects the state’s Medicaid procurement decision and Individual Marketplace complexities. Today, roughly 3.5% of Texas’ Medicaid and 2.6% of its Marketplace customers are served through the Baylor Scott & White Health Plan.
