Digest
HB 1811 amends the Human Resources Code to extend the duration of Medicaid services provided to women following pregnancy. Currently, eligible women receive coverage for 12 months postpartum. This bill increases the coverage period to 24 months postpartum, ensuring continuous medical assistance for women who deliver or experience an involuntary miscarriage. The implementation of this provision may be delayed if federal waivers or authorizations are required.
