Tips to Keep Health Care after Turning 18
Date: 04/08/25
Superior wants to make sure that if you’re aging out of foster care you can still get great health care. STAR Health members can still get the same benefits and services from Superior after turning 18. As long as you still live in Texas, these services will continue until your 21st birthday.
Your benefits and services will stay the same as long as you are a member of STAR Health. You will still be covered for many services. These include:
- Medical
- Dental
- Vision
- Prescriptions
- Physical therapy
- And more
One of the main differences is that you will be your own Medical Consenter. That means Superior will work with you to meet your health-care needs instead of contacting a caregiver or caseworker.
If you have any questions about aging out of foster care, call STAR Health Member Services at 1-866-912-6283. You can also reach out to a Transition Specialist. To contact one, visit Superior’s Transition Assistance Services webpage. They can help you with any needs you may have and can also help you get ready to transition out of STAR Health.
Superior will work with you to make sure you get the care you need.
