HB 5244 establishes the Texas Plan Demonstration Program, a state initiative to provide health care services to certain eligible individuals. It seeks federal funding through a waiver under the Social Security Act to cover primary care, specialty and major medical care, dental services, prescription drugs, and related health expenses. The program includes health benefit accounts for participants and emphasizes cost-effective, whole-person primary care. It outlines eligibility criteria, application procedures, and funding mechanisms, with the goal of improving access to care while reducing long-term costs.
