Scurry, TX at a Glance

Scurry sits on State Highway 34 in southwestern Kaufman County, about 7 miles southwest of Kaufman and 34 miles southeast of Dallas. The town began as a railroad shipping point for area farmers and incorporated in 2003. About 690 people lived in Scurry at the 2020 Census, and Scurry-Rosser ISD serves the town and nearby communities.

Kaufman County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation. The Census Bureau estimates 209,235 residents in 2025, up 44.0 percent since 2020, and the county issued 1,069 building permits last year, according to Census Bureau Quick Facts for Kaufman County. New neighborhoods are arriving beside farmland, so Scurry households range from multigenerational landowners to first-time buyers.

Coverage gaps follow the growth. The Census Bureau estimates that 18.7 percent of Kaufman County residents under 65 have no health insurance, and workers average about 36 minutes getting to work. Long drives to jobs outside the county mean many families need networks that reach more than one city.

Health, Family and Dental Insurance in Scurry

Health Insurance in Scurry

Health insurance protects you from large medical bills and gives you access to preventive care at negotiated rates. In Scurry, the right plan usually depends on where your doctors are, because hospital care sits in nearby Kaufman and specialists are spread across Terrell, Forney and Dallas. HealthGuys compares Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, National General and other carriers so you see more than one option.

Our health insurance options for Scurry residents cover individual, family and group plans. The Texas Department of Insurance publishes consumer guidance on plan types and your rights as a policyholder.

Individual Health Insurance in Scurry

Individual plans cover one adult and fit people without employer coverage, including early retirees, workers between jobs and part-time employees. Texas residents shop for marketplace plans on HealthCare.gov, and carriers also sell plans directly. Compare individual health insurance in Scurry side by side before you choose.

For 2027 coverage, open enrollment runs from November 1, 2026 through January 15, 2027, and December 15 is the deadline for a January 1 start. The enhanced premium tax credits expired at the end of 2025, so your help paying premiums may differ from last year. The HealthCare.gov dates and deadlines lists the full schedule.

Family Health Insurance in Scurry

Family plans cover parents and children under one policy, with pediatric visits, vaccines and emergency care built in. Kaufman County households average more than three people, so the right family plan balances network access, deductibles and the out-of-pocket maximum. See family health insurance for Scurry households.

The section below explains how Medicaid, CHIP and private family coverage fit together for Kaufman County families.

Dental Insurance in Scurry

Dental plans typically cover cleanings, exams and X-rays, with percentages for fillings, crowns and orthodontics that vary by plan. Most plans use waiting periods and annual maximums, so timing matters if you already know you need work. HealthGuys compares dental insurance for Scurry families, adults and seniors.

Medicare and Senior Coverage in Scurry

Medicare Supplement Plans in Scurry

A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan helps pay costs that Original Medicare leaves behind, such as deductibles and coinsurance, and it lets you see any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare. That flexibility helps Scurry seniors who use providers in Kaufman, Terrell or Dallas. Plan benefits are standardized by letter, so comparing carriers comes down to service and price. Review Medicare Supplement plans in Scurry with a licensed agent.

Medicare Annual Enrollment runs October 15 to December 7 each year, and Medigap policies are not tied to it. HealthGuys does not offer every Medicare plan available in your area. For information on all of your options, contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program.

Long-Term Care Insurance in Scurry

Long-term care insurance helps pay for help with daily activities at home, in assisted living or in a nursing facility, which health insurance and Medicare generally do not cover for long stays. In a rural community like Scurry, many families care for aging relatives at home, and a policy can protect savings and ease the load on caregivers. Explore long-term care insurance in Scurry before a health change narrows your choices.

Health history affects eligibility, so reviewing options in your 50s and 60s often gives you more choices. HealthGuys walks through benefit periods, daily benefit amounts and inflation options in plain language.

Life Insurance in Scurry, TX

Life insurance replaces income, pays off a mortgage and covers final expenses for the people who rely on you. Kaufman County issued 1,069 building permits in 2025, and new homeowners often carry their largest debt ever, which is when a death benefit matters most. Term policies cover a set number of years, and permanent policies can last a lifetime and build cash value.

HealthGuys compares carriers for applicants with health conditions, higher-risk jobs and tobacco use. See our life insurance options for Scurry families for term and permanent coverage.

Business and Self-Employed Coverage in Scurry

Self-Employed Insurance in Scurry

Self-employed residents carry the whole cost and the whole risk of their coverage. Farmers, ranchers, contractors, truckers and home-based business owners around Scurry can buy individual plans through the marketplace or directly from carriers, and some may deduct premiums, so ask a tax professional about your situation. HealthGuys compares self-employed insurance for Scurry business owners and pairs it with life and dental coverage.

Employer Group Insurance in Scurry

Texas small employers with at least two eligible employees can generally offer group health, dental and life benefits. A group plan helps Scurry shops, farms, contractors and service businesses compete for workers who could drive to larger employers in Kaufman, Terrell or Forney. HealthGuys compares group carriers, including Aetna and Humana, and explains contribution and participation rules for employer group insurance in Scurry.

Faith-based health sharing, such as Medi-Share, is not insurance. Members share eligible medical costs according to shared faith values, the Texas Department of Insurance does not regulate it as insurance, and it does not guarantee payment of bills. Members must meet faith and lifestyle guidelines, and pre-existing conditions can carry waiting periods.

Households active in a local church sometimes prefer this model. HealthGuys explains how faith-based plans in Scurry compare with traditional coverage so you can decide with clear expectations.

Travel Insurance for Scurry Travelers

Travel insurance can reimburse prepaid trip costs, cover delays and provide medical coverage while you are away from home, depending on the policy. Scurry travelers usually fly from DFW Airport or Dallas Love Field, so review cancellation reasons, coverage limits and exclusions before you pay for a trip. HealthGuys compares travel insurance for Scurry families and church groups for domestic and international trips.

Coverage Questions Kaufman County Families Ask

What is the nearest hospital to Scurry?

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman is a 91-bed, full-service hospital with a 24-hour emergency department in Kaufman, about 7 miles from Scurry. Confirm that your plan’s network includes the facility you would use. HealthGuys checks hospital networks with you before you enroll.

Should my plan include Kaufman, Terrell and Dallas providers?

If you see doctors in Kaufman or Terrell, or travel to Dallas for specialists, your plan should include them. Provider networks differ by plan, even within one carrier. HealthGuys checks your doctors and preferred hospital against each plan before you enroll.

I commute out of Scurry for work. How does that affect my coverage?

Kaufman County workers average about 36 minutes each way, according to the Census Bureau, so many residents see doctors near work as well as near home. Choose a plan whose network covers both ends of your commute. A broader network or a PPO can help if your care is spread across several cities.

Can farmers, ranchers and other self-employed residents get coverage?

Yes. Self-employed Texans can buy individual plans through the marketplace or directly from carriers, and some may deduct premiums on their taxes. Ask a tax professional about your situation. HealthGuys compares plans for sole proprietors, contractors and agricultural operators.

What insurance is available for my child in Kaufman County?

Children may qualify for Texas Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), depending on household income and size, and you can prescreen at YourTexasBenefits.com. Private family plans are also available through the marketplace and directly from carriers. HealthGuys can compare private options and check that your child’s doctors are in-network.

What are my options if my income is low?

Texas Medicaid and CHIP cover some low-income households, and marketplace premium tax credits can lower costs for others, depending on income and household size. Faith-based sharing is another route for those who qualify and agree to its guidelines. A licensed agent can explain how the options differ and estimate your eligibility for marketplace help.

How can I get coverage if I lose my job?

Losing job-based coverage usually opens a special enrollment window for marketplace plans, so call as soon as you know your coverage end date. COBRA continuation is another option, though you typically pay the full premium. HealthGuys compares COBRA, marketplace and private plans so you can choose with clear costs and networks.

What is the difference between an HMO and a PPO for rural-area residents?

An HMO usually requires a primary care doctor and referrals and covers in-network care only. A PPO lets you see providers inside or outside the network at different costs. Residents who travel to Kaufman, Terrell or Dallas for specialists often value the flexibility of a broader network.

Can I get a Medicare Supplement plan in Scurry?

Yes, if you are enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. HealthGuys does not offer every plan available in your area. For information on all of your options, contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program.

Is Medi-Share health insurance?

No. Medi-Share is a faith-based health sharing ministry, not insurance. The Texas Department of Insurance does not regulate it as insurance, it does not guarantee payment of bills, and members must meet faith and lifestyle guidelines. HealthGuys explains these differences before anyone enrolls.

Can small businesses in Scurry offer group health insurance?

Texas small employers with at least two eligible employees can generally apply for group coverage. Carriers set contribution and participation requirements. HealthGuys compares group health, dental and life options across multiple carriers.

How much does health insurance cost in Scurry, and can I get help paying for it?
