CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE IN TEXAS

A primary concern of parents should be ensuring that their children have access to health care. Many parents add their children to their group coverage at work. For some parents, however, group coverage through an employer is too expensive, especially for single parents with only one or two children. Healthy children can often qualify for a less expensive individual medical plan. To obtain an individual medical plan quote for a child, "Click Here". Parents who are unable to insure their children with dependent coverage through an employer or an individual plan have several other options.

The TexCare Partnership is the new children's health insurance campaign developed especially for Texas children. The TexCare Partnership campaign covers children from birth through age 18 and serves as the umbrella organization to inform parents about their options.
