Texas is participating with other states and the federal government in an agreement, known as “reciprocity," designed to make the Medicaid-related benefits of a Partnership-qualified policy effective in other states.

Under this agreement, Texas Partnership policyholders who relocate to a state participating in reciprocity can receive dollar-for-dollar asset protection, just as they would if they applied for Medicaid in Texas.

Requirements

To get this benefit in another state, two conditions must be met:

  1. The policyholder must apply for and qualify for Medicaid in the other state.
  2. Texas and the other state must both be participating in the reciprocity agreement when the policyholder applies for Medicaid.

Partnership States with Reciprocity: AL, AR, AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NV, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, WV, WY
