Primary
Healthcare
The Primary
Health Care
(PHC) program, based in the Associateship of Family Health at the Texas
Department of Health, began in 1987. The Primary Health Care
Services Act, H.B. 1844, which grew out of the indigent health care
legislative package enacted by the 69th Texas Legislature in
1985, created the program.
The PHC
program
provides prevention-oriented, education-based primary health care to
Texas residents who could otherwise not receive such care.
Eligibility is limited to those Texas residents whose gross family
income is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines
(FPIG) and who do not qualify for any other programs or benefits that
provide the same services.
