About Texas STAR Program
The State of Texas has selected certain counties to
have a Medicaid Managed Care program called STAR (which stands for
State of Texas Access Reform). The STAR program offers Medicaid
services to members, except in a different way, called managed care.
Driscoll Children's Health Plan is one of the health plans who provides
services to Medicaid members under the STAR program for the following
counties:
| Counties Eligible in South Texas |
| • Aransas |
• Nueces |
| • Bee |
• Refugio |
| • Calhoun |
• San Patricio |
| • Jim Wells |
• Victoria |
| • Kleberg |

In the STAR Medicaid Program, you will use providers that are in
a group called the “provider network”. Within this provider
network, you will choose a doctor call a Primary Care Provider (PCP)
who works with you to keep you healthy and gets you to other doctors,
services, and specialists. The PCP is your medical home.
Driscoll Children's Health Plan will send you a STAR ID card once
you have qualified for the program and have chosen Driscoll Children's
Health Plan as your health plan. You must show this STAR ID card
with your Medicaid Certification Letter (Form 3087) when you go
to a health care appointment
