Texas Insurance Coverage Help
Texas Medicaid is run by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas uses the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace rather than a state-run exchange. GetFastRates.com is free to use for Texas callers working through Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage questions.
Coverage questions in Texas.
Medicare, health, life, and supplemental insurance can depend on state, carrier, enrollment timing, household details, and personal needs.
Texas Medicaid and CHIP are administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) -- HHSC is the agency to know if your Medicaid or CHIP eligibility changed.
Texas does not run its own ACA exchange, so Texas marketplace shopping and subsidy questions go through the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace.
Free Medicare counseling is available in Texas through HICAP (Health Information, Counseling and Advocacy Program) at 800-252-9240, separate from GetFastRates' own free phone help.

Texas has not expanded Medicaid to all low-income adults, so Texas Medicaid eligibility rules can differ meaningfully from states that did expand -- worth confirming directly with HHSC or by phone rather than assuming another state's rules apply.
Texas coverage questions people ask.
Who runs Medicaid in Texas?
Texas Medicaid is administered by Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). If your Texas Medicaid eligibility changed, that agency -- not GetFastRates.com -- makes the eligibility decision, but a free call can help you understand what your options look like next.
Does Texas have its own ACA marketplace?
No. Texas uses the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace rather than a state-run exchange, so Texas marketplace shopping and subsidy questions go through HealthCare.gov.
Is there free Medicare counseling in Texas?
Yes. Texas HICAP (Health Information, Counseling and Advocacy Program) offers free, unbiased Medicare counseling in Texas at 800-252-9240. GetFastRates.com's phone help is also free and separate from that program.
