TCHP receives Texas HHSC's managed care renewed contracts

Texas Children's Health Plan (TCHP) has been tentatively awarded managed care renewed contracts by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). The contracts are for the STAR Medicaid and CHIP programs. As part of the contract, Texas Children's Health Plan will also provide CHIP perinate benefits, which include prenatal care for the unborn children of low-income women who do not qualify for Medicaid.

"We are pleased that HHSC has given our organization the opportunity to continue to offer excellent service and quality health coverage to underserved adults, pregnant women, and children in Houston/Harris and 19 surrounding counties," said Christopher Born, President and CEO. "We will continue our commitment to building a community of healthy families, and we look forward to providing access to health care for pregnant women through CHIP perinate."
