Texas HB536 amends the child health plan to require coverage for FDA-approved contraceptive drugs, supplies, or devices, while prohibiting coverage.

Texas HB536 amends the child health plan to ensure primary and preventive health benefits do not include reproductive services, except for prenatal care and care related to reproductive system diseases or abnormalities. The plan must cover FDA-approved contraceptive drugs, supplies, or devices for children under 18, but cannot cover abortifacients or any drug or device that terminates a pregnancy. Coverage for contraceptives requires written consent from the child's parent, guardian, or managing conservator, or from the child if authorized by law.
