AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott has announced the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Healthy Texas Women federal Medicaid demonstration waiver is renewed through June 30, 2030, following approval by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

“During this year’s successful legislative session, we passed record funding for Healthy Texas Women to ensure that women across our great state continue to have access to essential health services,” said Governor Abbott. “By securing this waiver extension through 2030, Texas will further support the health and well-being of women, especially those most vulnerable amongst us. I thank President Donald Trump and his Administration for approving this waiver and supporting our state’s efforts to provide high-quality healthcare to Texas women and foster a culture of life.”

“We’re thankful to Governor Abbott and the Texas Legislature for their ongoing support in providing Texas women with crucial preventive and family planning services,” said HHS Executive Commissioner Cecile Erwin Young.
