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. News release from Baylor Scott & White Health: 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. Following regulatory approval, we will message all affected members with more information and support. And it is important to note, Baylor Scott & White will continue to accept Medicaid and Marketplace insurance plans. Looking ahead, the Baylor Scott & White Health Plan will sharpen focus where it can deliver the greatest value—serving employer groups and Medicare Advantage customers through an integrated experience. As these changes take place, some Baylor Scott & White Health Plan roles that support the Medicaid and Marketplace lines of business will be impacted, along with a limited number of other non-bedside roles. We are committed to supporting affected team members through this transition with new and unique resources that include dedicated career guidance, priority access to open roles in our system, funded reskilling for high-demand clinical positions and extended medical benefits to help support continuity of coverage. Across Baylor Scott & White, the need for clinical talent continues to grow. We are further investing in direct patient care roles and creating new pathways for team members who want to build skills, pursue new opportunities and continue serving our customers and patients in different ways. In the past year in Temple and across Central Texas, we have added nearly 500 jobs—primarily in patient care; we have opened new facilities, including a rehabilitation hospital, and we continue to hire. We are actively recruiting for more than 3,000 positions across our system today. We remain deeply committed to aligning resources to support long-term growth, ensuring we continue to meet the needs of the communities we serve.
