Apply for Medicaid

However, Texas is one of the states that has so far declined Medicaid expansion.
If you find yourself unable to access affordable health insurance, there are options for you.
The State offers five options for Medicaid coverage:
STAR- STAR+PLUS
- STAR Kids
- STAR Health
- Traditional Medicaid
STARMedicaid Providers: STAR, STAR+Plus, STAR Kids & Star Health
Amerigroup – providing coverage to Bexar, Dallas, Harris, Jefferson, Lubbock, Rural Central, Rural Northwest, Rural West and Tarrant Areas.

Healthy Texas Women (HTW) Program
For those looking specifically for healthcare for women, the Healthy Texas Women program is a great place to start.

The LoneStarCard is available to use at any store that accepts. It works like a prepaid debit or credit card.
