Texas HB475 amends the Human Resources Code to require Medicaid reimbursement for multisystemic therapy services, which are identified by a specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code.

If federal approval is needed for implementation, the affected agency can request a waiver or authorization and may postpone implementation until it is granted.
