Accepted Insurance Plans

If Texas Children's is an out-of-network provider, health plans may still approve coverage for treatment with an out-of-network authorization.  For non-emergent services, both an out-of-network authorization and single case agreement must be in place before services are provided.

Emergency services at a Texas Children’s Hospital emergency department does not require any prior authorization or pre-treatment agreement.

Patients with questions regarding the out-of-network process should contact their health insurance plan.
