4.6 Women's Health Program (WHP)

In January 2007, HHSC launched a new family planning program, the WHP. The goal of the program is to expand access to family planning services that reduce unintended pregnancies in the eligible population. WHP participants receive a limited, family planning benefit that supports the goal of the program. WHP participants do not have access to full Medicaid coverage.

The WHP provides an annual family planning exam, family planning services, and contraception to women who are 18 to 44 years of age, United States citizens or eligible immigrants, and Texas residents with a net family income at or below 185 percent of the FPL.
