TexHealth Central Texas is a community-based health plan that offers an employer sponsored group health plan in Central Texas. Established in 2009, TexHealth was created by local citizens concerned with the rising cost of health care and uninsured small businesses. TexHealth Central Texas seeks to find ways to better serve its members and the community by emphasizing our commitment to quality, service, and cost-effective care.
