HB 4122 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the provision of certain information about Medicaid benefits for certain postpartum women.

HB 4122 requires Texas Medicaid providers to annually receive written notices about postpartum women's 12-month Medicaid eligibility (starting after pregnancy), as established in existing law. It also mandates that hospitals and healthcare providers give new mothers resource pamphlets containing specific health information. These pamphlets must cover postpartum depression support, shaken baby syndrome prevention, immunization schedules, newborn screening follow-up, SIDS prevention, and pertussis vaccine details (with Spanish translation). The bill directly affects pregnant and postpartum Medicaid recipients, newborns, and healthcare providers who serve them.
