Confirm the adult enrollment destination
CHCS directs enrollment inquiries to 210-261-2427. Its page identifies the Paul Elizondo adult clinic at 928 West Commerce in San Antonio, with screening on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Confirm the current window before travel.
Say that you are asking about adult enrollment rather than an existing routine appointment. Ask whether to begin by telephone and what needs to happen before attending. Save the agreed instructions with your travel plan. The main administrative office and children’s enrollment location should not be substituted for the adult destination without staff direction.

Check the residence document and its date
CHCS specifies residence evidence from the past 60 days. Examples include a household bill, lease or letter on housing-agency or shelter letterhead. Its page expressly excludes a family or friend’s letter as residence proof.
Check the name, address and date on the document you intend to use. If it does not match your situation, describe the mismatch to enrollment staff before making a trip solely to submit it. Ask about an acceptable alternative rather than borrowing the document rule from another public program; the rules differ between organizations.

Clarify the financial paperwork without deciding your own eligibility
The income section uses a 60-day heading, asks for the last 30 days of pay stubs and includes a spouse’s income when married. CHCS separately describes a financial assessment based on income and family size.
Use the official checklist for the type of evidence you actually have. If a statement covers an unusual period, ask staff how to document it. Make a list of the questions that affect your visit: which household information is needed, what remains missing and when any estimated charge will be explained. Avoid treating a document checklist as a calculator for a promised discount.

Keep registration and clinical assessment separate
CHCS describes an initial screening and clinical eligibility assessment as distinct parts of access. The clinician determines the appropriate next step rather than the paperwork alone.
Ask what remains after registration: another interview, a later visit, a document or a referral. Write down who is responsible for each step. If staff suggest another organization, ask for its actual access contact and whether you should call. Confirm any follow-up appointment independently of the document-submission receipt so you know what has been scheduled.

Common questions
Can I use a letter from a friend as CHCS residence proof?
The enrollment page says that family or friend letters are no longer accepted for this purpose. Ask staff which listed alternative fits your circumstances.
