Health Insurance for Children You may have or know children ages 18 and under who do not have health insurance. Over 1.4 million Texas children are uninsured. Now is the time to act to insure children with new affordable insurance options. TexCare Partnership is a major partnership of community organizations, health care providers, and insurers who work together to give families an easy way to apply for insurance for their children. TexCare reviews each application and sends it to the qualifying insurance program.
Qualification is determined mainly by family income and the age of children to be insured.
The charts below give you an idea of families who may qualify for each type of insurance. In the following chart, prepared by the Department of Health and Human Services, more income level choices are given. If your income is close to the amount in the chart above, use that percentage. If it is between two choices above, use the amount between them in the chart below. This is just an estimate, and your eligibility will be determined for you.
