Frontline Resource for helping low-income, Uninsured Texas Women

Reference Sheet Outlines Public Coverage Options for Uninsured Women

The Texas Collaborative for Healthy Mothers and Babies has developed a reference sheet for frontline health care workers to help low-income, uninsured women in Texas potentially find coverage through one of the state’s public health insurance programs.

The two-page reference sheet explains the eligibility requirements for Medicaid for Pregnant Women, the CHIP-Perinatal program, Healthy Texas Women, and the Family Planning Program, and includes a chart showing what services are covered under each. It’s intended “to help close knowledge gaps, encourage greater utilization of available resources, and increase access to health care,” the collaborative says. The sheet is available in English and Spanish.
