Your Postpartum health is just as important as your baby’s!
About Healthy Texas Women (HTW)
The HTW program currently provides a wide variety of women’s health and family planning services. It helps women take care of their general and prenatal health and has a positive impact on their birth outcomes.
Beginning September 1, 2020, Healthy Texas Women (HTW) members will automatically join an enhanced postpartum care services package called Healthy Texas Women (HTW) Plus. The new benefit package starts after the first 60 days of the postpartum period and lasts for up to 12 months after joining HTW. Women in HTW Plus will have access to both HTW and HTW Plus benefits.
HTW Plus and Postpartum Care
Your postpartum health is just as important as your baby’s. Postpartum care helps with a faster recovery after giving birth, the enjoyment of motherhood despite its challenges, and it can also promote better milk supply if you choose to breastfeed.
HTW Plus health services will ensure that women continue to be taken care of during the vulnerable postpartum stage. In addition to the variety of services offered by the HTW Program, HTW Plus covered services include:
Postpartum depression and other mental health conditions
Psychotherapy services for individuals, families and groups; and peer specialist services.
Cardiovascular and coronary conditions
Imaging studies; blood pressure monitoring and medications.
Substance use disorders, including drug, alcohol and tobacco use
Screening, intervention, referral for treatment, counseling, smoking cessation services, medication-assisted treatment and peer specialist services.
