Important
MAP and MAP BASIC are not federal programs.
All uninsured Travis County residents are encouraged to apply, regardless of their U.S. residency status.
Enrolling in MAP or MAP BASIC will not impact your path to a green card.
Income Requirements
If you are at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level you may qualify for full benefits under the Medical Access Program. Elderly and disabled residents may qualify up to 200% of the FPL
If you are at or below 200% FPL who do not qualify for MAP full-benefit coverage may qualify for MAP BASIC, which provides a more limited level of services.
You might also qualify for primary care services through our health care partners on a sliding fee scale program that determines the cost for care based on annual income.
