🌟 Overview of Texas Medicaid
Texas Medicaid provides healthcare coverage for low-income children, pregnant women, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. The state contracts with multiple Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to deliver services through programs such as STAR (children and families), STAR+PLUS (seniors and people with disabilities), STAR Kids (children with disabilities), and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program).
Texas Medicaid eligibility depends on income, household size, age, and medical needs. Once eligible, members enroll in a managed care plan that provides primary care, specialist visits, hospital services, and prescriptions.
