Relating to the provision of certain services under the Medicaid managed care program to recipients who are victims of family violence.

HB 4459 requires Texas Medicaid managed care organizations to ensure recipients who are survivors of family violence can access trauma-informed health and mental health services through licensed providers. The bill mandates that organizations establish partnerships with family violence services providers, develop protocols for integrating these services into existing care, and track metrics like the number of screenings and referrals.
