STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (STAR+PLUS HCBS)
Administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, through managed care organizations that carry out the eligibility determination and coordinate services.
Dementia-specific eligibility
Assessment for STAR+PLUS HCBS begins only when a person's name reaches the top of the program interest list; the managed care organization then carries out the eligibility determination. The cited page does not describe any dementia-specific eligibility route, so ask the office that administers the programme how a dementia diagnosis is weighed in that assessment.
Asset limits: This state does not publish asset limits on its own program page. Confirm the current figures with the office that administers the program.
What makes TX different: Texas runs the programme from an interest list rather than open enrolment, and the wait is the defining feature of applying - families who assume they can apply when care is needed find the assessment cannot even begin until their turn comes.
How to apply: Ask to be placed on the STAR+PLUS HCBS interest list by contacting the HHSC Interest List Management unit, or the managed care organization directly if the person is already enrolled in STAR+PLUS. Nothing else happens until the name reaches the top of that list, so getting on it early is the step that matters.
