Bringing the culture of Texas Children’s to health plan members

At Texas Children’s Health Plan, we spend every day dedicated to one thing – keeping children and women in Texas healthier by helping them plan for their futures. As the nation’s first HMO focused on children and women, our commitment to families for the past 25 years has allowed us to grow into the largest Medicaid and CHIP plan in our service area and win accolades for the support and coverage we provide to our members.

We are one community of over 1,000 employees
