Relating to the continuation of the maternal opioid misuse model of care for certain Medicaid recipients.

HB 5155 extends a healthcare program for pregnant and postpartum Medicaid recipients with opioid use disorder and their children. It requires Texas' Health and Human Services Commission to continue this specific model of care using funds from the opioid abatement account, if available. The program, originally funded through federal grants, will operate until September 1, 2029, and applies to Medicaid enrollees during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This bill does not create new funding but ensures the continuation of an existing federal-matched healthcare model.
