Texicare, a Health Affiliate of Texas Mutual, Launches Health Care Plans in Houston

Plans featuring convenient $0 visits to six provider types and unlimited virtual care roll out to Texas’ largest city

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Texicare, the health affiliate of Texas Mutual, announced today its launch in Houston, making the company’s affordable and easy-to-use health care plans available to small business owners in Texas’ largest city and the fourth-most populous city in the U.S.

The announcement follows the company’s recent entry into West Texas and the Texas Panhandle, with a focus on providing innovative health care options in Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland and Odessa.

“Our successful launch in West Texas and the Panhandle has demonstrated the enthusiasm and market demand for health care plans that are tailored to meet the needs of Texas’ small business owners and their employees,” said Meredith Duncan, CEO of Texicare. “Our team is focused on delivering what Texans and their families deserve from their health care plans. We’re proud to reach even more Texans with our expansion to the Houston area.”

Texicare’s Essential Care plan—which offers four $0 visits to six provider types—and Savings Care plan—which allows employees to make tax-free contributions into a health savings account—are designed specifically for small business owners, offering affordable, accessible coverage options through local provider networks.

“Texas Mutual’s dedication to the strength and resiliency of Texas is reflected in Texicare’s meaningful approach to advancing the state’s health care industry,” said the Honorable Ron Simmons, chairman of the Texicare board of directors. “Texicare offers affordable health care coverage that makes sense for small business owners, whose priority is providing the best quality of care for employees and their families. Small business owners can trust that Texicare believes in a healthier and happier Texas.”

Texicare also recently announced its partnership with virtual health care provider CirrusMD to connect small business owners and their employees with high-quality physicians for around-the-clock virtual care. Employers in Houston and the surrounding areas can contact their health care agent today or [e-mail] to learn more about Texicare and how its health plans can benefit their employees.

In 2021, the Texas Legislature asked Texas Mutual to investigate options to provide health care plans to small businesses in Texas. In 2022, Texas Mutual’s board of directors approved Texicare’s creation. For more information about Texicare, visit www.texicare.com.
