Q) We are having to move to Texas does medicaid transfer with us or do we have to start over.

A) Medicaid is a state-based program, so your coverage will not automatically transfer to Texas when you move. You will need to apply for Medicaid in Texas. The application process can vary from state to state, so it is best to contact your state’s Medicaid office for more information.

Here are some things to keep in mind when applying for Medicaid in Texas:

• You may need to provide documentation to prove your income and residency.
• You may need to provide documentation of your disability or other qualifying condition.
• You may need to have your application processed by a caseworker.

The application process can be time-consuming, but it is worth it to get the health coverage you need. If you have any questions, you can always contact your state’s Medicaid office for assistance.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about transferring your Medicaid coverage to Texas:

• You may have to pay a premium for Medicaid in Texas. The premium amount will vary depending on your income.
• You may have to meet certain other eligibility requirements in order to qualify for Medicaid in Texas.
