SCAN Health Plan Expands Into Oregon Through Springs Living Partnership

The partnership marks SCAN’s entry into Oregon and will use a care model focused on providing more healthcare services within senior living communities.

SCAN Health Plan is expanding into Oregon through a partnership with senior living organization Springs Living, with new co-branded products set to launch Jan. 1, 2027, in Clackamas and Washington counties. The offerings will connect medical care with day-to-day support provided to older adults in assisted living communities.

The partnership marks SCAN’s entry into Oregon and will use a care model focused on providing more healthcare services within senior living communities. The model draws on SCAN’s experience serving older adults, including through institutional special needs plans (I-SNPs), alongside Springs Living’s senior care infrastructure.

Under the partnership, certain medical services can be delivered directly within residents’ living environments. Fee Stubblefield, founder and CEO of Springs Living, cited his father’s experience in the organization’s memory care facilities as an example of the model’s potential.

His father requires podiatry visits every two weeks. Stubblefield said frequent trips to outside appointments can be difficult for his father, caregivers and family. Under the SCAN partnership, podiatry services will instead be provided at home.

The arrangement also allows clinicians to work more closely with caregivers who interact with residents daily, Stubblefield said.

SCAN CEO Sachin Jain, M.D., said older adults often require care that is not adequately represented in traditional clinical training, creating challenges for healthcare providers designing care models for this population.

The partnership is intended to make care more accessible while potentially reducing risks associated with unnecessary hospital visits. Jain pointed to complications such as hospital-acquired infections and intensive care unit delirium as outcomes that could potentially be avoided by delivering appropriate services in a resident’s home.

The partners plan to use the initial phase of the collaboration to evaluate and refine the care model and identify improvements to the member experience.

For SCAN, the partnership also provides an opportunity to apply its I-SNP model within a senior living environment where medical and daily care teams can work more closely together.
