Coverage of the HPV Vaccine and Adult Safety net (ASN) Program Updates

Oct 7, 2024 | HHSC News, Member News, Member Resource

Key Details:

As of August 1, 2023, the Adult Safety Net (ASN) Program, which helps uninsured adults receive vaccinations, no longer covers the HPV vaccine. The ASN program is managed by the Department of State Health Services and provides vaccines to uninsured adults, but individuals enrolled in Medicaid are not eligible for ASN vaccines.

If you are enrolled in Texas Medicaid, this change does not affect your coverage. The HPV vaccine is a fully covered benefit under Texas Medicaid, as outlined in state guidelines.

If you have questions or concerns about your coverage for the HPV vaccine, or need assistance in getting vaccinated, please contact us for more information.

If you have any questions, call Member Services toll free at 1-800-434-2347. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call 711.

We also provide a behavioral health management program, an asthma program, and financial wellness classes for eligible Members. Learn more about healthy habits on our blog, Vive 210 or in our semi-annual Member Newsletter.

*Community First Members in our Health & Wellness programs may also be eligible for additional wellness benefits and rewards. Limitations and restrictions may apply.
