Texas Care Map
Who qualifies for what in Texas, where to be seen when you qualify for nothing, and what to do about the bill.
Coverage, clinics, and medical bills, worked out for Texas.

Reader questions

Texans working out the same three problems, in public: whether any program will take them, where to be seen when none will, and what to do once a bill has arrived. Delia moderates, Dr. Ashby answers the medical half and refuses the administrative half on purpose. Nobody here can tell you what you qualify for, and nobody here will try. Threads close on a timer and stay readable afterwards.

Falling in the gap

Denied by Medicaid, quoted a zero subsidy, and told to try again next year.

Finding somewhere to be seen

Community health centers, free clinics, sliding scales, and what they actually charge.

After the bill arrives

Charity care, itemized bills, collections, credit reports, and complaints.
