HB 4760 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to Medicaid reimbursement for the costs of cognitive assessment and care planning services provided to certain patients.

HB 4760 creates a Medicaid reimbursement system for healthcare providers (including physicians) who deliver cognitive assessment and care planning services to patients with cognitive impairments like dementia or Alzheimer's disease. To qualify for reimbursement, providers must complete six specific services: assessing cognition/function/safety, evaluating neuropsychiatric symptoms, reviewing medications, assessing caregiver needs, conducting a comprehensive clinical visit, and providing a written care plan. The bill requires the Health and Human Services Commission to seek a federal waiver to access additional funding for this program. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, pending implementation of required rules and federal approval.
