Accepting Texas Medicaid and CHIP

Medicaid and CHIP Pediatric Care in McKinney, TX

At BrightKids Pediatrics, your child’s coverage should never be the reason care gets delayed. We accept Texas Medicaid (STAR) and CHIP, and we welcome new patients on both—same doctor, same appointment times, same quality of care.

Families across McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, and Collin County see Dr. Afsheen Abid, M.D., a board-certified pediatrician. The same physician who sees your child at their first visit sees them at every visit after, from newborn checkups through age 21.

“Every child in our practice gets the same care, the same time, and the same doctor—regardless of how their visit is paid for.”

Plans We Accept

  • Texas Medicaid (STAR)
  • CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program)
  • Most commercial insurance plans
  • Self-pay

Not sure whether your plan is covered? Call 972-532-0535 and we’ll check your coverage before you book.

What Medicaid and CHIP Cover for Your Child

Texas Medicaid covers preventive care for children through the Texas Health Steps program, with no copay for covered services. That includes well-child checkups on the recommended schedule, immunizations, vision and hearing screening, developmental and behavioral screening, lab work, and dental referrals.

CHIP covers checkups, immunizations, sick visits, and prescriptions at low or no cost depending on your family’s plan. Sick visits, school and sports physicals, and ADHD evaluations are covered under both programs when medically necessary.

Care We Provide

  • Newborn and well-child visits
  • Same-day sick visits
  • Childhood and adolescent immunizations
  • School and sports physicals
  • ADHD evaluation and ongoing care
  • Developmental and behavioral screening
