The Medical Program of Big Bend Health provides comprehensive coverage for preventative and emergency medical care for eligible residents of Brewster and Presidio Counties. 

• For low-income and low-resource county residents
• $30,000 maximum annual benefit
• Includes preventative dental (annual check up and cleaning) and vision coverage (bi-annual check up and pair of glasses)
• Limited medical supplies such as wheelchairs, cane, diabetic supplies, etc.

You must be a resident of Brewster or Presidio County to be eligible for our programs and be categorically ineligible for Medicaid. All of our programs have income and asset/resource limits and are generally designed for low- and mid-income residents. There are a number of exclusions and deductions that can apply for individuals, so there is no easy answer to determine eligibility—eligibility is always done on a case-by-case basis.
