Floor Packet Page No. 68
Amend CSSB 1 by adding on page II- in the bill pattern of
the Health and Human Services Commission a rider that reads as
follows:
Unborn Children Health Coverage under Title XXI (CHIP). The
Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner may provide unborn
children health benefit coverage for mothers not otherwise eligible
for Medicaid and include this population as a covered group in the
Texas Title XXI State Plan. To be eligible, the pregnant mother of
these children must live in Texas and have countable income at or
below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Those made eligible
will receive the benefits included in the Title XXI State Plan.
Title XXI benefits to unborn children will be financed solely by
voluntary contributions using intergovernmental transfers from
local government entities and federal matching funds under Title
XXI.
