31.3.3 Risk Assessment
A systematic assessment of factors that may compromise the health outcome for the pregnant adolescent or woman, or the fetus must be performed for all prenatal clients at the initial visit. The risk assessment must be ongoing and modified as necessary.
The level of services provided to the client must be appropriate for the risk assessment. Services must be available on-site or through a referral. If the maternity clinic refers the client to a physician, CNM, and/or hospital that does not participate in the Texas Medicaid Program, the maternity clinic must inform the client in advance of the client's potential financial responsibility, according to the requirements of the Texas Medicaid Program.
