SIDE BY SIDE
🤔 HHSC vs. Your LIDDA
People often confuse these two organizations. Here’s how they’re different:
🔵 Works at the state level🔵 Sets rules and policies🔵 Oversees waiver programs🔵 Manages Medicaid in Texas🔵 You may not contact them directly
🟢 Works at the local level🟢 Helps you access services🟢 Enrolls you in waiver programs🟢 Helps with Medicaid applications🟢 You WILL contact them directly
One isn’t more important than the other — they simply have different jobs.
BOUNDARIES
🚫 What HHSC Doesn’t Do
Although HHSC oversees many services, it does not directly serve individuals.
HHSC is not:
❌ Your doctor
❌ Your therapist
❌ Your employer
❌ Your school district
❌ Your local LIDDA
❌ Every service provider in Texas
Instead, HHSC oversees many of the systems that make those services possible.
YOUR JOURNEY
🌟 When Will I Interact With HHSC?
You may interact with HHSC when:
💳 Applying for Medicaid
📋 Learning about waiver programs
📨 Receiving official letters
🌟 Using Texas benefits
🌐 Looking up information online
🤝 Working with providers that receive Medicaid funding
Sometimes you’ll communicate directly with HHSC. Other times, your LIDDA or provider will handle that communication on your behalf.
