Texas CHAP helps people without health coverage at a time when they need it most. It’s operated by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).

Texas CHAP can help you:

  • Learn about your rights under federal and state law
  • Enroll in a health plan, including the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP)
  • Appeal a health plan's denial of a treatment or service
  • Resolve a complaint against your health plan or insurer
  • Obtain the health care premium tax credit (for small businesses)

The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) may be right for you if you:

  • Have been uninsured for at least six months
  • Have a pre-existing condition
  • Are a U.S. citizen or residing legally in the United States

Please call 1-855-TEX-CHAP now for more information about these and any other insurance questions and concerns.
