Texas’ Medicaid plan helps low-income Texans, including senior citizens and those with disabilities, access quality health care services. The plan covers a wide range of expenses including primary care, hospital inpatient and emergency services, laboratory tests, prescription medications and mental health services.
Seniors who hope to qualify for Medicaid in Texas should be aged 65 or older. They’re limited to an income of $771 per month ($1,157 for married couples), and $2,000 in countable assets ($3,000 for married couples). Texas Medicaid counts all income sources when determining an applicant’s eligibility; however, some assets are exempt including the applicant’s house, car and personal belongings, such as household furnishings and clothing. Seniors who don’t qualify financially may be able to access the program via Texas’ Medicaid spend-down program, which allows applicants with excessive medical expenses to pay their health care bills and count the remaining income toward eligibility requirements.
To apply for Medicaid, seniors living in Denton can download a paper form online and mail it to the address on the application or contact Your Texas Benefits by phoning (877) 541-7905.
STAR+PLUS
Seniors who live in Denton, Texas, can apply for managed care benefits via the Texas Medicaid STAR+PLUS program, which helps disabled and elderly persons access a vast range of health care benefits. All services are provided within a single network, and beneficiaries have access to benefits such as assisted living and home care services as well as skilled nurse visits, primary care, mental health services, prescription medications and case management.
To be eligible for this program, applicants need to be at least 21 years of age and receiving either Medicaid benefits or Supplemental Security Income. It must also be determined by a medical doctor that the applicant requires long-term care.
To apply for STAR+PLUS, seniors in Denton can call Your Texas Benefits at (877) 541-7905.
Community Care for the Aged and Disabled
Community Care for the Aged and Disabled is a non-Medicaid program that helps seniors aged 60 and older access long-term care. The program is open to seniors who don’t receive assistance from Medicaid, and while it’s meant to cover the cost of home care services, it does work with some seniors who reside in assisted living facilities.
To be eligible for CCAD, seniors must be at least 60 years of age and it must be determined by a doctor that they require daily care. They must have a maximum income of $2,250 per month and no more than $5,000 in countable assets. They also must not be eligible for Medicaid.
To apply, seniors can call the Aging and Disability Resource Center at (855) 937-2372.
Optional State Supplement
Seniors who are recipients of the federal SSI benefit are eligible to receive Texas’ Optional State Supplement. In most cases, SSI recipients are automatically enrolled in this program. This is a cash benefit that’s issued each month to help seniors pay for costs like room and board and health care services that aren’t covered by Medicaid. The amount of the benefit varies depending on the recipient’s living arrangement and is typically $60 per month for those residing in Medicaid facilities.
Seniors who want to know more can call the Texas Department of Health and Human Services at 1-855-937-2372.
