3.2.2 Family Planning Services for Undocumented Aliens, Legalized Aliens

Undocumented aliens are identified on the client eligibility card as having limited Medicaid eligibility by the classification of Type Program (TP) 30, 31, 34, and 35. Under Texas Medicaid, these clients are only eligible for emergency services, including emergency labor and delivery. Texas Medicaid emergency-only services do not cover family planning to prevent future unintended pregnancies.

All providers are encouraged to promote the benefits and availability of family planning services under Titles V, X, and XX and to refer interested clients to family planning providers who receive Titles V, X, and XX funds. These family planning funding sources cover the provision of contraceptive devices, supplies, counseling, and sterilizations for these and all other family planning clients.
