The Medicare market might not be the place you would expect to find real innovation reshaping the way healthcare is delivered. Let us introduce you to HealthSpring, a company born from one man’s entrepreneurial vision for a better way to meet the healthcare needs of Medicare beneficiaries. That vision has grown into a revolutionary approach to healthcare that is helping our members live healthier lives. It is also pointing the way to a better American healthcare system.

HealthSpring is one of the largest Medicare Advantage coordinated care plans in the United States. Our concentration on this market has allowed us to develop a unique approach to healthcare coverage for Medicare beneficiaries.

We begin with a deep understanding of the needs of Medicare beneficiaries and the needs and challenges facing physicians. We then develop a partnership that provides what our members need – more access to higher-quality preventive care – while giving physicians what they need to deliver that care. Specifically, HealthSpring pays physicians for quality over quantity of care, and we give them extra nurse and technology resources so they can devote more time and attention to their patients. The result: healthier members with lower medical costs. It is a common-sense model, but an uncommon practice.

HealthSpring is based in Nashville, Tennessee. We currently own and operate Medicare Advantage plans in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. We also offer a national stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan.

Our mission statement:

HealthSpring is dedicated to improving the health of the communities we serve by delivering the highest quality and greatest value in healthcare benefits and services.
