Texas STAR Program
Your Health Plan - Your Choice
STAR is a Texas Medicaid managed care program and will include persons living in Gregg, Harrison, Marion, Panola, Rusk and Upshur, as well as other surrounding counties. In STAR, you will pick a health plan for your health care services. You will also pick a main doctor (a primary care provider). The Star program will now be implemented in the North East Texas Medicaid Rural Service Area on March 1, 2012 with enrollment beginning now. Please click here for information regarding a local presentation where representatives will be happy to provide you with all the information that you need to choose the plan thats right for you. It is very important that you choose a managed care plan BEFORE February 10, because if you do not, the State will auto assign a plan to you along with a primary care physician. Watch your mail for your enrollment packet and call 1-800-964-2777 if you have any questions.
