Call to action: Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) is proud to present our Healthy Rewards Program/Value Added Services (VAS) program effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. These rewards and services are available in each line of business CHIP, STAR, and STAR Kids and Service Delivery Areas; Harris, Jefferson and North East (limitations may apply).
NEW Texas Children’s Health Plan MyChart for Reward Requests
TCHP has made it easier than ever for members to request rewards through the new TCHP MyChart platform. Members are required to create and/or login to their MyChart to request the rewards request form.
TCHP MyChart member instructions:
Please encourage members to create their TCHP MyChart account (if not already done so) as this will be the only way members can request and redeem these rewards. Please note that TCH and TCHP MyChart have two separate login request processes. If a TCH patient has MyChart, but would like to add TCHP MyChart features – they need to follow the instructions above.
Member favorites, such as the Prenatal and Postpartum Visit Rewards, Portable Crib/Playpen, Diabetes Screening Rewards and Well-Child Visit Rewards are returning, along with a new benefit for our members who screened for Chlamydia. Please review the chart below for a full list of all rewards including updates to existing and new rewards.
Extra benefits are available for the following categories:
| Category | Extra Benefits |

| Extra Help for Families |

*Restrictions and limitations may apply and may vary by plan, including but not limited to age, gender and covered benefits by program. Extra benefits valid during the eligible state fiscal year (September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026). Must be an active Texas Children's Health Plan member at time of verification to receive extra benefit. Unless otherwise stated, reward must be redeemed in the current eligible year. Purchase of alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, or firearms is prohibited with the reward cards. Unless otherwise stated, rewards are limited to one member per eligible year. TCHP is not responsible for lost or stolen rewards. Depending on the benefit, the reward can be requested up to 60 days after the end of the eligible year. Allow up to 90 days for delivery of the reward.
As a reminder, if you are treating a CHIP-Perinate covered member with a diagnosis of hypertension during their pregnancy, you can request to have a blood pressure monitor mailed to their home. At this time, this is the only reward that can be requested by a provider.
