Effective March 12, 2024, women enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP who are pregnant or become pregnant will be automatically enrolled for 12 months of postpartum coverage (formerly only 2 months).
Medicaid or CHIP coverage will be automatically extended to women while pregnant and still within their 12-month postpartum period if they are still residents of Texas. Coverage will be reinstated for the remainder of the 12-month postpartum period.
