House Bill 1063 amends the Government Code to require the program permitting Medicaid reimbursement for certain home telemonitoring services to provide that the services are available to pediatric persons who are diagnosed with end‑stage solid organ disease, have received an organ transplant, or require mechanical ventilation. The bill repeals a provision prohibiting the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) from reimbursing providers under Medicaid for the provision of home telemonitoring services on or after September 1, 2019. Implementation of a provision of this bill by HHSC is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
