It’s been our mission for 30 years to help Texas families stay healthy. No matter your child’s health needs, we’re here to help with personalized support, high-quality providers, extra benefits, and more. You can count on us!
Every child in your family covered by the Health Plan will get a Member ID card in the mail. This card is proof of your child’s health coverage and you need to bring it to each of their doctor’s visits.
If your child’s Member ID card hasn’t yet hit your mailbox, you can either:
Take a moment and make sure your child’s PCP is listed correctly. When you signed up your child for their benefits, you may have picked their PCP. (If you did not, we picked one for you.) If you want to update or change your child’s PCP, please call Member Services at the phone number found on the back of your child’s Member ID card.
Now that your child is covered, it’s time to schedule their first Well-Child Checkup which is covered under your plan. We recommend you set up your child’s first appointment with their PCP as soon as possible to get started on their care.
Your child will either have a STAR, STAR Kids, or CHIP plan. Each plan is different and they offer different benefits:
