Do I qualify for public health care coverage?

The federal government and the state of Texas offer public coverage for people who are unable to pay for their medical needs. Medicaid is a kind of health insurance offered to low-income parents, senior citizens, and people with permanent disabilities. Medicare is specifically for people over the age of 65 and people with certain illnesses or disabilities.

Simply being elderly, low-income, or disabled does not necessarily make a person eligible for public coverage, however. The regulations for these programs are complex and can be difficult to understand. To learn about Texas public health care eligibility, contact Option 1 today.
