What is Texas Medicaid?

Texas Medicaid is the state and federal cooperative venture that provides health-care benefits to eligible Texas residents. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) oversees Texas Medicaid and seeks to improve the health of Texas residents, both adults and children, who might otherwise go without health-care services.

For more information about HHSC, visit the website at www.hhsc.state.tx.us. You can also download the current Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual for provider information and services covered under Texas Medicaid.
