Bill > SB2193

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 for low-income or at-risk individuals, improve the health of participating employees and their families, contribute to economic development by helping small businesses retain a healthy workforce, and encourage innovative solutions for providing and funding health care services. The bill allows federally qualified health centers to establish and operate primary care access programs, set participation criteria for employers and their employees, require cost-sharing, and seek grants and donations to fund the programs. The Texas Department of Insurance, in collaboration with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, will administer a grant program to support the operation of these primary care access programs.
