An updated balance is always on the receipt for any Lone Star Card purchase. Should you miss that, call the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, or HHSC, at 800-777-7328.

Disagreeing with the Balance

If you suspect the balance is incorrect, you'll need to call the HHSC and provide as much information as possible for the agency to review. Once the review concludes, HHSC will send a letter to your home advising of the outcome. To avoid disputing balances, you should always keep the most recent receipt with your Lone Star Card.
