Learn about Health Coverage Without Leaving Your Neighborhood

Follow us on the road to health. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) is going from town to town across Texas to help you, your family and friends get prepared to buy during the open enrollment season.

Our fun, friendly representatives will be visiting locations where you live, work and shop! We’ll listen to your needs and help explain how our insurance works in plain, easy to understand language (Spanish or English). We can check to see if you may qualify for any financial assistance to help lower what you pay for coverage. Household income is required to help determine if are eligible for the premium tax credit

You can find us as we travel across Dallas, Houston and Austin. Look for us outside first and if we’re not there, we’ll be inside! We’ll be there with our table, mobile center unit (it looks like a pop-up booth ) or with our mobile center RV. If you see us on the highway, wave! We’ll be at libraries, hospitals, community centers and schools. Come by and visit us! Be sure you tell us you found the location on Connect.
