At FirstCare Health Plans, we believe that all Texans and our communities should be healthy. Our mission is to provide our customers access to high quality, affordable health care through strong partnerships in the communities we serve.

FirstCare was founded in Amarillo in 1985, and we’re still Texas based. We put down roots and we’ve watched them grow. In fact, we’re owned by Texas-based Scott and White Health Plan—part of Baylor Scott & White Health—and are connected to nearly 140,000 members in our communities. Today, our service area includes 143 counties, with local offices in Abilene, Amarillo and Lubbock.

FirstCare’s founders were dedicated to fighting the rising costs of health care. Today, we still offer dependable, no-nonsense plans that are easy to understand. And we work hard to provide flexible plans that fit your budget as well as your health care needs.

Everyone at FirstCare is proud to be part of our communities. We’re right here when you need us. We even answer our own phones. We’re just people helping people, and doing the right thing. Like we do here in Texas.
