Texas Medicaid Program

Medicaid works in practice much like having regular Texas health insurance; if you qualify you’ll receive a Medicaid card which you can show your doctor at an appointment. If your doctor participates in Medicaid, the State will pay the bill for the appointment minus any other health insurance you may have. The program pays for many medical services including acute care services, prescription drugs, and long-term services and supports, depending on need. There are 3 major categories of individuals eligible for Medicaid’s full benefits:
1. Families and children (based on income level and depending on age or pregnancy)
2. Cash assistance recipients (based on whether you receive TANF or SSI)
3. Aged and disabled (based on income level, age, and physical/mental disability)
There are 3 other groups eligible for partial Medicaid benefits:
1. Medicare beneficiaries (based on income level and age)
2. Non-citizens (legal permanent residents and undocumented persons ineligible for Medicaid because of citizenship status can receive emergency services)
3. Women (based on income level and age, women ineligible for full benefits may receive women’s health services only) – Women eligible for this program are ages 18-44 whose income is up to 185% of the federal poverty level.
