About Us

Trustworthy Care. 
Comprehensive Coverage.

Driscoll Health Plan is a non-profit, community-based health insurance organization with more than 70 years of experience and one main goal: improve the lives of South Texas families through quality healthcare.

Our journey began in 1998 when the Driscoll Foundation developed and funded what would become a beacon of health and hope for our community. That same year, the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) licensed Driscoll Health Plan (DHP) as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO).

DHP is a vital part of the Driscoll Health System and proudly stands alongside Driscoll Children's Hospital, an institution that has been the cornerstone of care for South Texas children and their families for over seven decades. We serve a 14-county area surrounding Nueces County and a 10-county area in the Rio Grande Valley. Our programs include both Medicaid-managed and low-cost coverage options for children, young adults and expecting mothers.

Our Outlook

As of 2017, Texas held the unfortunate distinction of having the highest number of uninsured children in the entire nation.* A staggering 4.8 million young lives lacked vital healthcare coverage. Preventing major health issues often starts with something as simple as an annual checkup. These routine visits can prevent both children and adults from facing more serious medical conditions and the financial burden that comes with them.
We are on a mission to foster healthier lives in South Texas, and we do that by offering new, affordable, and high-quality healthcare options. Together, we can build a healthier, happier future for our community.
