Before the implementation of Texas SCHIP in these areas, the state contacted the tribes to determine how best to ensure the continued participation of tribal health clinics in the care of tribal members. Health plans are required to contract with or enter into special arrangement with tribal providers. These arrangements help ensure continuity of care for clients that choose to enroll in SCHIP.
