Relating to coverage for maternal depression screenings under Medicaid and the child health plan program.

HB 3917 requires Texas Medicaid and the Child Health Plan Program to cover up to four maternal depression screenings for a child's mother during well-child or office visits before the child turns one year old. This applies regardless of whether the mother is also a Medicaid recipient. The bill amends existing codes to mandate this coverage, ensuring screenings occur during routine pediatric visits. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and affects mothers enrolled in these programs who have children under one.
