Information about PCCM
What does PCCM mean?
The letters stand for Primary Care Case Management
(PCCM). It is a type of Medicaid plan. Being in
the PCCM Medicaid plan means you will go to a
primary care provider for most of your health care.
What is a primary care provider?
This can be a doctor, nurse, or clinic. You see your
primary care provider for most of your health care.
Talk to your primary care provider when you have a
question about your health.
Where can I find out more about PCCM?
Call toll-free 1-888-302-6688 (TTY 1-800-735-2989 or
7-1-1). You can call Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to

What is the PCCM Primary Care Provider and
Hospital List?
It is a list of primary care providers, hospitals,
specialists, and family planning providers that are
near you.
How do I pick a primary care provider?
1. Go to the Primary Care Provider section in this
book and pick one. Some providers are part of a
clinic or group and are listed under the clinic or
group name. You can pick a provider that:
a. Is from any county or city.
b. Speaks your language (the list shows which
languages each provider speaks).
c. Has office hours that work for you.
2. Tell us who you want to pick by calling toll-free
1-888-302-6688.
Keep this list. You can use it if you want to change
your primary care provider.What if I can't find my provider in the list?
Look in the index in the back if:
- You can't find your provider's name in the list by
county and city.
- You know your provider is part of a group, but the
provider's name isn't listed under the group.
If you still can't find your provider, call us. We will
help you.
Who do I call if I have a question or an urgent
health need?
Call the nurse helpline or your primary care provider
for help with urgent health needs. The nurse helpline
is always open at 1-800-304-5468. If your primary
care provider's office is closed, there should be a
message that tells you how to get help.
What if I need special health care?
Your primary care provider will send you to other
providers if you need special care. Your primary care
provider can also admit you to the hospital.
Do I have to see my primary care provider for all
of my health care?
You need to see your primary care provider for most
of your health care. However, there are times you do
not have to see your primary care provider, such as
for:
- Emergency care.
- Eye exams and glasses.
" Mental health and substance abuse treatment.
" Pregnancy and other health care for women.
" Texas Health Steps checkups and vaccinations for
kids.
