Frequently asked questions.
Understand Medicaid coverage, PHC services and the next steps toward getting assistance.
Primary Home Care (PHC) is a Texas Medicaid program that provides non-technical personal attendant services to eligible adults with medically related functional limitations. It helps individuals manage everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and mobility so they can continue receiving support at home.
Yes. Primary Home Care is funded through Texas Medicaid for individuals who meet the program's eligibility requirements. Coverage depends on full Medicaid eligibility, documented medical needs, functional assessments, and service authorization. Receiving Medicaid does not automatically guarantee approval for PHC.
No. Primary Home Care focuses on non-medical assistance with everyday activities, while home health care may include clinical services such as skilled nursing and rehabilitation provided by licensed healthcare professionals. PHC attendants do not perform skilled medical procedures that require professional or technical training.
The number of hours depends on the individual's assessed functional needs and the service plan authorized by HHSC. Each person's situation is evaluated separately, so approved care hours may vary. Program limits and other eligibility requirements also apply.
