Join or Renew Your Coverage
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas wants to make sure you get the care you need. That's why we offer you multiple Medicaid plans. Whether you’re a new member or want to renew your plan, we have options to support you.

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
The CHIP plan and CHIP Perinatal program are available to children (age 18 and younger) and pregnant women who do not qualify for Medicaid. BCBSTX has served CHIP members in the Travis Service Area since 2012.
State of Texas Access Reform (STAR)
The STAR program is for people who qualify for Medicaid and who are either pregnant, have limited income, are newborns or receive cash assistance (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF). BCBSTX has served STAR members in the Travis Service Area since 2012.
STAR Kids
The STAR Kids program provides Medicaid services for children and youth age 20 and younger with disabilities. BCBSTX has served STAR Kids members in both the Travis and Central Service Areas since 2016.
Keeping Your Medicaid Coverage
Once a year, you may have to complete a renewal process. Doing this helps you keep your Medicaid benefits. The process is called redetermination.
