Texas HB1060 ensures adoptive parents can consent to medical care and access information for their adopted child eligible for Medicaid.

HB1060 amends the Human Resources Code to mandate that the commission collaborates with the Department of Family and Protective Services. This ensures adoptive parents of children adopted from the department and eligible for Medicaid can consent to medical care and access information about their child's Medicaid benefits. This includes communication through electronic systems and with relevant organizations and providers. If a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is needed for implementation, the affected state agency can request it and delay implementation until granted.
