HB 2581 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the information required for payment of services provided through the Thriving Texas Families Program.

HB 2581 requires service providers working with Texas' Thriving Texas Families Program to submit detailed payment requests using a new form. The form must include a unique client ID, verification that clients received pregnancy resource information, interaction details (date, time, location), staff names, and an itemized service list. This applies to all network contractors or service providers seeking payment for program services. The Health and Human Services Commission must create and publish this form by November 1, 2025, with providers required to use it starting December 1, 2025. The bill focuses solely on standardizing payment documentation for program accountability.
