A) No, you cannot switch your Medicaid coverage from Florida to Texas. Medicaid is a state-funded program, and each state has its own eligibility requirements and benefits. When you move to a new state, you must apply for Medicaid in that state.

When you apply for Medicaid in Texas, you will need to provide information about your income, household size, and other factors. You will also need to provide proof of your identity and residency.

If you are approved for Medicaid in Texas, you will receive a card in the mail that you can use to get health care services. Medicaid covers a wide range of health care services, including doctor’s visits, hospital stays, and prescription drugs.
