Texas Health Care Information Collection (THCIC)

Attention THCIC Stakeholders, Health Data Researchers and Healthcare Facilities,

In response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency requirements THCIC staff will have limited access to providing responses and data requests.

THCIC was created by the 74th Texas Legislature in 1995. THCIC's charge is to collect data and report on health care activity in hospitals and health maintenance organizations operating in Texas. The goal is to provide information that will enable consumers to have an impact on the cost and quality of health care in Texas.
