Medicaid Enrollment Information

Effective January 1, 2026, HHSC is ending the Dual Demonstration Medicare-Medicaid Plans (MMPs) in Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, and Hidalgo counties. A new enrollment process will be implemented to align Medicaid (STAR+PLUS) enrollment with the member’s integrated D-SNP.

This transition means that providers in these counties may need new contracts with health plans. Members in these counties will be able to select a health plan that provides integrated Medicare and Medicaid (STAR+PLUS) services in a different way.
