About Us

Welcome!

Through the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and State of Texas Access Reform (STAR) Medicaid programs, Dell Children’s Health Plan offers quality healthcare and extra benefits for families just like yours, with local doctors and clinics close to home.

Dell Children’s Health Plan is a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) committed to getting you the right care close to home. Your Dell Children’s Health Plan benefits are your STAR or CHIP benefits, plus the extra benefits you get for being our member.

It’s all part of the plan.

  • More than 3,500 specialists
  • Coverage for your kids from birth to age 20, so they are supported throughout childhood
