Medicaid

Medicaid is the State and Federal cooperative venture that provides medical coverage to eligible needy persons. The purpose of Medicaid in Texas is to improve the health of people who might otherwise go without medical care for themselves and their children. Although Medicaid in Texas is different from other states, Baylor Scott & White accepts Medicaid from many other states as well. If you would like to know if Baylor Scott & White accepts your Medicaid plan, please call 1.800.725.0024.

Crime victims

Texas courts collect court costs from convicted offenders for the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund. If you are a victim of violent crime, you may be eligible for benefits.

The County Indigent Health Care Program

County Indigent Health Care Program provides healthcare services to eligible residents through the counties, hospital districts and public hospitals in Texas. Counties that are not fully served by a public facility (i.e., a hospital district or a public hospital) are responsible for administering an indigent health care program for eligible residents of all or any portion of the county not served by a public facility. If you live outside of Dallas or Tarrant County and meet the minimum program requirements, you may qualify for this program.

Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services

If you have a disability and need rehabilitation services, you may qualify for the Texas Rehabilitation Assistance Program. Please note: This program does not cover individuals who are legally blind or visually impaired.

These community care clinics offer financial assistance for medical care based on Baylor Scott & White's eligibility plan. Additional eligibility requirements may apply and hours of operations may vary; contact the individual clinics to find out more.
