SB 2062 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to provision of and access to services for children with certain health care needs, including access to certain Medicaid waiver programs.

SB 2062 creates a statewide support network to help expectant parents receive prenatal diagnoses for serious fetal conditions or disabilities. It connects parents with advocacy groups and assists them in applying for Medicaid waiver programs like the MDCP (Medically Dependent Children Program). The bill also expands Medicaid eligibility for children with disabilities by increasing the family income limit for a buy-in program to 300% of the federal poverty level. Additionally, it requires prioritizing enrollment in the MDCP waiver for children already receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) who meet medical necessity criteria. The bill aims to improve access to home and community-based services for vulnerable children and families.
