**RECORDED.** The CMS Medicare Advantage Plan Directory reports enrollment of 2,581 for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (contract H8133).

### What this Medicare Advantage directory entry is — and is NOT — for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** This page is a directory of the organization offering Medicare Advantage / PACE plans under CMS contract H8133. It lists who the organization is, its type, parent, CMS region, and enrollment — verbatim from the CMS MA Plan Directory. It is NOT a directory of individual plan benefits, premiums, deductibles, drug formularies, or star ratings. Enrollment is a CMS-reported count, not a quality signal. To compare actual Medicare Advantage plans available in your area — including premiums, coverage, and star ratings — use the official Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov/plan-compare. For free, unbiased help understanding your Medicare options, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Source: Coverage Atlas framing (over the CMS MA Plan Directory facts above) — https://coverage-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/coverage/medicare-advantage/h8133
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not a CMS verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. The org identity, enrollment, and contact above are verbatim CMS records; this boundary note is interpretation.

Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact. Structured: `https://coverage-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/coverage/medicare-advantage/h8133.jsonld`
