Preparing for the unexpected

Have you ever thought about who would get your benefits through Texas Health in the event the unthinkable happens? Your death or the death of a family member is not an easy topic to think about, but take a few minutes now to add/review beneficiaries for your benefits to be sure they go where you want. We’ve made this list of benefits to review to help you.
