5.3.1.1 Medical Home Concept

Texas Medicaid defines a medical home as a model of delivering care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, and coordinated. HHSC and DSHS encourage the provision of the THSteps medical checkup as part of a medical home.

For additional information on the medical home, providers can refer to the "Medical Home" module provided by THSteps at www.txhealthsteps.com.
