How Texas Decides Which Plans Serve Your County
Texas HHSC divides the state into 13 STAR+PLUS service areas — metro areas like Dallas, Tarrant, Harris, and Bexar, plus three large rural service areas. HHSC contracts with two or three managed care organizations (MCOs) per area, and every member picks their plan from that lineup — you can compare benefits on the official STAR+PLUS comparison charts or switch plans through the state enrollment broker at 800-964-2777.
The lineups changed on Sept. 1, 2024, when new state contracts took effect: UnitedHealthcare Community Plan was added in the Bexar, Dallas, and Tarrant service areas; Community First Health Plans joined in Bexar and Community Health Choice in Harris; and Wellpoint’s STAR+PLUS footprint moved to the Jefferson, Lubbock, Nueces, and West Texas rural service areas. If a plan you remember is missing from your county’s list, that is why — and if your coverage was moved between plans, your home care does not have to change with it.
What This Means If You Want Home Care
Your health plan decides how many attendant hours are authorized, but you choose the home care agency — and in the Dallas and Tarrant service areas, every single STAR+PLUS plan is one Newport is contracted with, so we can serve you no matter which plan you pick. In Houston and San Antonio we work with Molina and UnitedHealthcare members every day. Our STAR+PLUS home care guide explains eligibility, hours, and how the program works; our insurance & programs page covers each plan in detail.
Two more things families ask us constantly: yes, a family member can often be the paid caregiver (see how to become a paid caregiver for a family member), and no, switching agencies or plans does not mean losing your hours — your authorization belongs to you, and transfers are routine. Call 972-602-3500 and we will walk you through it.
County Lookup FAQs
Which STAR+PLUS health plans serve Dallas County?
Per Texas HHS, the Dallas service area — Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro, and Rockwall counties — is served by Molina Healthcare, Superior HealthPlan, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Newport is a contracted STAR+PLUS provider with all three.
Which STAR+PLUS health plans serve Tarrant County and Fort Worth?
The Tarrant service area — Denton, Hood, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise counties — is served by Molina Healthcare and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Newport is contracted with both, and our Fort Worth team serves the whole area.
Can I change my STAR+PLUS health plan?
Yes — the plan choice always belongs to the member. Compare options on the state comparison charts, then switch through the Texas Medicaid enrollment broker at 800-964-2777. Because Newport works with Molina, UnitedHealthcare, Superior, and Wellpoint, changing plans usually does not mean changing caregivers.
Why did the plans in my county change in 2024?
New HHSC contracts took effect Sept. 1, 2024, reshuffling which MCOs serve which areas. The lookup above always shows the current lineup per Texas HHS. If your plan changed and your home care was disrupted, call us — restoring care after a plan move is something we handle routinely.
My county is not in the list — how do I find my service area?
Call the Texas Medicaid enrollment broker at 800-964-2777, or call Newport at 972-602-3500 and we will look it up with you. The official county-by-service-area lists live on the Texas HHS comparison charts page.
Talk to a Real Person About Your County
Tell us your county and your plan (or your parent’s), and we will tell you exactly what home care help is available and how fast it can start. Newport’s care teams are strongest across Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio — and if we cannot serve you, we will point you to someone who can.
