Controversies

Superior HealthPlan of Texas is alleged to have denied coverage of an infant's surgery for brain cancer at Texas Children's Hospital where it has been alleged to have previously paid claims for the infant, Savannah Snodgrass. Part of the source of the controversy lies in reports that that facility has a notably higher survival rate for such operations. Superior HealthPlan claims that it does not cover Texas Children's Hospital and that it has directed the family to a different facility. Superior HealthPlan said it is "confident" the family will find capable in-network providers.
