The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission to develop and implement a health literacy pilot program in Bexar County for Medicaid recipients with young children. A statistically significant test and control group would be required. The materials to be provided would include health information materials in English and Spanish and training would be provided to participants. HHSC would be required to establish the pilot program through a local governmental entity in Bexar County choosing to participate and to finance the pilot using local money and matching federal funds. The section added by the bill would expire September 1, 2009.
