US STATE FUNDING GUIDE · TEXAS
Texas Medicaid home modification funding: STAR+PLUS minor home modifications
Understand the programme route, funding rules and questions to resolve before planning adaptations in Texas.
Funding rule: $7,500 lifetime service limit and $300 yearly for repairs; the handbook describes an MCO exception process.
This guide does not determine eligibility or authorise work. Obtain written programme approval before committing to a contractor.
Which programme to ask about
The individual service plan must identify the need. Confirm remaining benefit, exclusions and authorisation with the managed care organisation.
Your next step in Texas
Ask your STAR+PLUS service coordinator to identify minor home modifications in your individual service plan. Request confirmation of previous expenditure, the remaining allowance and whether an exception is needed.
Questions before getting quotes
- Does my current coverage include this adaptation service, and is an assessment or waiting list involved?
- Which tasks and equipment can be authorised for my assessed needs?
- What benefit remains, and are exceptions or additional approvals available?
- Must the programme select or approve providers, bids and landlord permissions?
- Who pays for excluded work, maintenance and future repairs?
A ramp, shower conversion or stairlift is not automatically covered because it appears in a planning guide. Confirm the actual approved scope and local requirements.
