County Indigent Health Care Programs
Texas County Indigent Health Care Programs help people who don’t have health insurance and can’t afford medical care. If you qualify, the program can help cover basic health services like doctor visits, medicine, and hospital care. Each county runs its own program, so what’s covered and how to apply may be a little different depending on where you live.
