Texas offers many options for those looking for individual, family, group or small business health insurance. There are even options available like Texas Medicaid, high risk pool, and CHIP. All of these government programs can help those who are medically uninsurable or who cannot afford private insurance to obtain basic health coverage. We, here at Health Plan One, can help you figure out which category you fall into and help find the plan that best fits your needs.
Texas offers CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) to cover children in Texas 18 or under whose family income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, but cannot afford private individual insurance. CHIP enrollment fees and co-payments are based on the family’s income. However these costs are still very low. Enrollment fees are less than $50 per family for each 12 month term of eligibility and most co-payments for doctor visits and prescription drugs range from $3 to $10. The benefits include regular checkups and office visits, dentist visits (cleanings and fillings), vaccines, mental health care, and eye exams (and glasses). CHIP further offers a program called CHIP Perinatal for Texas residents who are pregnant, uninsured, and unable to get Medicaid. Information on this program is available here: http://www.chipmedicaid.org/
Texas also offers the Texas Health Insurance Risk Pool to those under 65 who have been deemed medically uninsurable. These qualifications all include rejection by an insurance company for being medically uninsurable and/or having one of a list of qualifying pre-existing conditions. Dependents are also eligible for coverage in the high risk pool. More information on the Health Pool: http://www.texashealthoptions.com/cp/disable.html
