Welcome to Cook Children's Health Plan

Cook Children's Health Plan has been serving the Tarrant Service Area Medicaid and CHIP families since 2000, ensuring our Members receive the physical and behavioral health, pharmacy and social support services you need, when and where you need them.

We are affiliated with Cook Children's Health Care System, an integrated pediatric delivery system that has over a century of service to North Texas Residents.

We have staff that speaks English and Spanish. We can also help you if you need assistance in understanding or reading any of our handbooks or directories. Please let us know if you require any of our materials in larger print, Braille, or audio. Cook Children’s offers interpreter services at no cost to you if the provider does not have someone to interpret for you. Call our Member Services Department at 1-800-964-2247 (TTY/TDD for hearing impaired: 7-1-1 or 1-800-735-2988) to schedule an interpreter and we will let your provider know who that person will be. Our website also contains several different resources for our members.
