How to join Dell Children’s Plan
If your children already have CHIP or STAR with another health plan, you can switch to Dell Children’s Health Plan at any time. Just call the CHIP/STAR Medicaid Helpline at 1-800-964-2777 (TTY 7-1-1) and tell them you want to switch to Dell Children’s Health Plan.
To become a member of Dell Children’s Health Plan, you must first apply and qualify for CHIP or STAR Medicaid.
If you need to apply for CHIP or STAR, you can apply online at YourTexasBenefits.com, by calling 2-1-1, option 2, or by printing and mailing your application.

In addition to infection with the HPV virus, factors that increase the risk for cervical cancer include:
- Having first sexual intercourse at an early age
- Having many sexual partners
- Giving birth to three or more children
- Smoking cigarettes (this produces chemicals that can damage cervical cells)
- Using oral contraceptives
- Being infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS
Women without HPV infection or any of these other risk factors rarely develop cervical cancer.
