About Select Health: A History of Innovation and Integrated Healthcare
When Medicare beneficiaries evaluate health insurance companies, it’s helpful to understand the history, mission, and size of the organization behind the plan. Select Health has a long history of providing health insurance coverage throughout the Mountain West and has grown into one of the region’s largest nonprofit health plans.
Select Health traces its roots back to 1983, when Intermountain Health launched IHC Health Plans to provide affordable healthcare coverage for its employees. The organization was built on the idea that healthcare providers and health insurance could work together to improve quality, simplify healthcare, and help control costs. Over time, the health plan expanded beyond employee coverage and began serving individuals, families, employers, Medicare beneficiaries, and Medicaid members throughout the region. In 2006, IHC Health Plans officially rebranded as Select Health, the name it continues to operate under today.
Today, Select Health is a nonprofit health insurance company serving more than 1 million members across Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Colorado. The company remains affiliated with Intermountain Health, one of the largest nonprofit healthcare systems in the western United States. Select Health’s mission focuses on helping people live the healthiest lives possible by making healthcare simpler, more affordable, and more accessible.
Select Health’s Presence in Las Vegas and Nevada
Nevada has become an increasingly important market for both Select Health and Intermountain Health. In 2019, HealthCare Partners Nevada joined Intermountain Health, significantly expanding Intermountain’s footprint throughout Southern Nevada. Today, Intermountain Health operates an extensive network of physicians, clinics, specialty providers, and healthcare services throughout the Las Vegas Valley. At the time of the integration, the Nevada organization included more than 300 primary care providers and over 100 healthcare locations, making it one of the largest provider organizations in the state.
For Medicare beneficiaries in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County, this connection between Select Health and Intermountain Health is particularly noteworthy. The integrated approach emphasizes coordinated care, preventive medicine, population health management, and value-based healthcare delivery. These are all areas that have become increasingly important as Medicare Advantage plans continue to evolve and focus on improving health outcomes while managing healthcare costs.
Interesting Facts About Select Health
One of the most unique aspects of Select Health is that it was among the early health plans in the United States to be closely aligned with a healthcare system. While this model is more common today, it was considered innovative when the organization was founded in 1983. The goal was to make health insurance easier to understand while creating a more seamless experience for members navigating the healthcare system.
Select Health recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and continues to expand throughout the Mountain West. The organization employs more than 2,000 team members and maintains a strong commitment to community involvement, supporting local nonprofit organizations, wellness initiatives, and programs that address social determinants of health such as food insecurity, housing stability, and access to healthcare.
For Medicare beneficiaries in Southern Nevada, Select Health’s combination of regional expertise, nonprofit mission, and connection to one of the West’s largest healthcare systems makes it an increasingly recognized option when evaluating Medicare Advantage coverage. As Las Vegas continues to grow and attract retirees from across the country, Select Health’s presence in Nevada positions it to remain an important part of the Medicare landscape for years to come.
