Relating to the use of community health workers in Medicaid managed care.

AI Summary

This bill allows Medicaid managed care organizations in Texas to categorize services provided by community health workers as quality improvement costs rather than administrative expenses. This change enables Medicaid managed care organizations to use their funding more efficiently to provide community health worker services, which can improve health outcomes for Medicaid recipients. The bill also includes a provision that allows state agencies to delay implementation of any provisions that require a federal waiver or authorization until such approval is obtained.
