Relating to the Medicaid eligibility of certain women following a pregnancy.
HB 757 extends Medicaid coverage for women who qualify for pregnancy-related Medicaid by changing the postpartum eligibility period from six to 12 months after pregnancy. This affects women in Texas who were eligible for Medicaid during pregnancy and would otherwise lose coverage after six months. The bill amends state law to align with federal requirements (Section 1902(e)(16) of the Social Security Act), requiring continued Medicaid access for at least 12 months following pregnancy. The change takes effect September 1, 2025, with implementation subject to any necessary federal waivers.
