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:
- Log into your MyChart account. New to MyChart? Set up an account here
- Under “Menu” go to “Resources”
- Click on "Healthy Rewards Program" and complete the request form for this reward.
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.
