HB 488 mandates Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for Functional Family Therapy (FFT) services provided to at-risk youth. FFT is described as a short-term, family-based therapeutic treatment designed to improve family dynamics and reduce negative behavior patterns by addressing the core causes of dysfunction and enhancing parenting skills. The bill directs the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to ensure that providers offering FFT services are reimbursed under the state Medicaid program.
