Texas SB1661 allows Medicaid recipients to receive nutrition support services instead of other Medicaid services, and mandates biennial health.

Texas SB1661 amends the state Medicaid plan to permit the provision of nutrition support services to Medicaid recipients in place of other services. These services include case management, nutrition counseling, medically tailored meals, and food prescription programs. Community-based nutrition support organizations, which must have agreements with health care providers, can offer these services.
