Texas Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program

HIPP is a Texas program that helps families pay employer-sponsored health insurance premiums.  You are eligible to enroll in help if anyone in your family receives Medicaid (except for the CHIP and STAR Health managed care program) and someone in your family is eligible to get health insurance at work.  You can apply for HIPP by phone, fax, mail, or email (Please go to the website and click on “Please visit the How to Reach HIPP page for fax and email information”–it is highlighted in blue toward the end of the page).   You will need to submit the following required items:  your employer-sponsored health insurance plan’s rate sheet and proof of health insurance payment if you already are covered.
