How to apply for Llano County Indigent Health Care Program (CIHCP)
Llano County Indigent Health Care Program — administered through the Llano County Commissioners Court
Who it's for
The Llano County Indigent Health Care Program (CIHCP) is required by Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 61 (the County Indigent Health Care and Treatment Act of 1985) because Llano County does not maintain a public hospital district. The CIHCP provides medical and prescription drug coverage for eligible low-income Llano County residents who don't qualify for other state or federal healthcare programs. Eligibility typically requires: Llano County resident age 18+; household income less than 21% of the Federal Poverty Level (the Texas statutory minimum); not eligible for or receiving Medicaid. Services typically cover: physician services, lab and x-ray, three prescriptions per month, inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Hill Country Memorial Hospital (Fredericksburg, in Gillespie County) is the primary partner hospital for tertiary care; Baylor Scott & White Llano provides local care. Apply at Llano County offices, Llano TX 78643 or by calling 325-247-7755.
The 21% FPL gate is the Texas statutory minimum — extremely strict. Only Llano residents at or near SSI income levels qualify. Hill Country Memorial / Baylor Scott & White Llano is the practical hospital partner. For Llano residents above 21% FPL, the dominant private hospital's own Patient Financial Assistance Program (typically at 200% FPL) is the broader pathway.
