About the Company
At DAKOTACARE, we want to promote the health and well being of the people in South Dakota. That’s why we offer health insurance plans that are both affordable and flexible. We are the most comprehensive managed care network ever assembled in South Dakota, with plans that include flexible premiums, deductibles and copayments. DAKOTACARE is meeting the coverage needs of South Dakotans with a complete range of choices for comprehensive group plans, affordable individual policies, as well as dental, disability, and life insurance. Created For South Dakotans By South Dakotans In 1986, the physicians of South Dakota came together to do what many said couldn’t be done. They set out to create a revolutionary health care coverage system that would keep patient care decisions in the hands of the physicians. DAKOTACARE was a health plan like no other at the time. Medical services were provided at affordable rates, claim processes were streamlined and high levels of provider participation ensured that members had the ultimate freedom of choice. Today, DAKOTACARE remains the health care plan of the South Dakota Medical Association. And just like we did 27 years ago, we are still looking out for South Dakotans by providing efficient care, a comprehensive network and exceptional service. That’s what it means to be South Dakota’s Own.
