Had Medicaid or CHIP during pregnancy in TX? You get 12 months of postpartum coverage (effective 3/1/24). If you were cut off early, appeal within 90 days. As your year ends, switch to Healthy Texas Women or the Family Planning Program. Share this postβ€”most parents still don’t know! #savetexasmoms
