Bill > HB3317

This bill establishes the Federally Qualified Health Center Primary Care Access Program in Texas. The program aims to increase access to primary care services at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) for low-income or at-risk individuals, improve the health of employees of participating employers and their families, contribute to economic development by assisting small businesses, and encourage innovative solutions for providing and funding health care services and benefits for employees. The bill allows FQHCs to establish and operate primary care access programs, which can require participating employees and their dependents to obtain primary care services only from the FQHC. The bill also establishes a grant program for FQHCs operating these programs and requires periodic reporting on the success of the program.
