SCAN Health Insurance·California, Missouri
The specialist provides short-term mental health treatment, including assessment, diagnosis, and interventions for members with mild to severe mental illness. They collaborate with families, primary care teams, and community providers to ensure members can live safely in the community.
Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.
Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.
Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.
At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

Market context
Behavioral health roles in Missouri often draw steady demand, especially for licensed counselors who can support adults, children, and adolescents across varied care settings. These positions are competitive because employers typically want fully licensed LPCs with broad population experience, and benefits such as health, dental, vision, parental leave, and flexible schedules can influence candidate interest.
