Healthy Texas Women Runs Through June 2030; Current Texas Manual Still Routes It Through HHSC/TMHP, Not MCOs

CMS extended the Healthy Texas Women §1115 demonstration through June 30, 2030 and authorized Texas to prepare a future managed-care transition. But the current Texas Medicaid Managed Care Handbook lists HTW among programs administered by HHSC/TMHP rather than a client's MCO or dental plan.

Texas FQHCs should continue using current HTW enrollment and billing channels until HHSC publishes an implementation date and transition instructions; an immediate MCO-contracting requirement is not established by the current manual.
