Parents with disabled children currently on disability-related Medicaid may be forced to find a new physician before November. STAR kids is a new managed care program serving those who are 20 years old and younger and goes into effect on Nov. 1.
The program, like those currently on disability-related Medicaid, will provide benefits like prescription drugs, preventative care, personal care, medical equipment and hospital care.
Looking at a map of managed care service areas from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, doctors can be found based on the county a family lives in.
