In addition to your Arkansas Medicaid number, you will also need to provide the following documentation:

Once you have gathered all of the required documentation, you can submit it to the Medicaid office. They will review your application and determine if you are eligible for Medicaid.

If you are approved for Medicaid, you will receive a Medicaid card in the mail. This card will allow you to see doctors and receive other health care services in Texas.
