Of the additional $18 million appropriated by this subdivision, $750,000 must be used in each year of the state fiscal biennium ending August 31, 2021, to increase oversight of women's health contracts under the Healthy Texas Women Program and $750,000 must be used in each of those years by the Health and Human Services Commission to implement a pilot program for women enrolled in Medicaid who need more comprehensive services to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
