Thank you for choosing Texas Children’s Health Plan and congratulations on your pregnancy!
It’s been our mission for 30 years to help Texas families stay healthy. No matter your health needs during your pregnancy, we’re here to help with personalized support, high-quality providers, extra benefits, and more. You can count on us!
Four Steps to Get Started:
Understand your Member ID card.
If you haven’t already, you will get a Member ID card in the mail. This card is proof of your health coverage and you need to bring it to each of your prenatal and postpartum visits.
If your Member ID card hasn’t yet hit your mailbox, you can either:
Contact Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) at 2-1-1, Option 2, or on YourTexasBenefits.com to update your mailing address.
Print out a temporary Member ID card from your Texas Children’s® MyChart account. (See Step 4!)
Confirm your Primary Care Provider (PCP) and schedule a prenatal visit.
Take a moment and make sure your PCP is listed correctly. When you signed up for your benefits, you may have picked a PCP. (If you did not, we picked one for you.) If you want to update or change your PCP, please call Member Services at the phone number found on the back of your Member ID card.
Now that you are covered, it’s time to schedule your first prenatal visit which is covered under your plan. We recommend you set up your first appointment with your PCP as soon as possible to get started on your care.
Learn what’s covered under your plan.
You will either have a STAR or CHIP Perinatal (CHIP-P) plan. Each plan is different and they offer different benefits:
STAR is a no-cost Medicaid-managed care plan that covers pregnant women during pregnancy and up to 12 months after birth.
CHIP-P offers a full range of coverage for pregnant women who do not qualify for Medicaid and do not have other health insurance.
