Does Texas Medicaid cover claims in MS?

A) No, Texas Medicaid does not cover claims in Mississippi. Texas Medicaid is a state-funded program that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families in Texas. Medicaid claims can only be submitted in the state where the recipient resides. If you are a Texas Medicaid recipient and you receive medical care in Mississippi, you will be responsible for paying for the care out of pocket.

If you are a Texas Medicaid recipient and you need to receive medical care in Mississippi, you can contact your local Medicaid office to see if there are any providers in Mississippi who are willing to accept Texas Medicaid patients. You can also contact the Mississippi Department of Medicaid to see if there are any programs available to help you pay for medical care in Mississippi.

NOTE: Medicaid is a joint federal and state program, and each state operates its own program within certain guidelines set by the federal government. Therefore, coverage and benefits can vary from state to state.

Medicaid in Texas does not cover claims outside the state of Texas. So, if you are a resident of Texas and have received medical treatment in Mississippi, Medicaid in Texas would not cover your claims in Mississippi.

It’s worth noting that there are some situations where a state may have a reciprocity agreement with another state, which allows for coverage of medical treatment received in the other state, but this is not a common practice.

It’s important to check with your insurance provider or the Medicaid office of the state where you received the medical treatment to see what the coverage options are.
