Call to action: Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) would like to remind providers of the Healthy Texas Women (HTW) Program and the benefits available to their patients.

The services help women plan their families, whether they want to achieve, postpone or prevent pregnancy. These services may also have a positive effect on future pregnancy planning and general health. Healthy Texas Women provides a wide variety of women’s health and core family planning services, including:
Pregnancy testing
Pelvic examinations
Sexually transmitted infection services
Breast and cervical cancer screenings
Clinical breast examination
Mammograms
Screening and treatment for cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure
HIV screening
Long-acting reversible contraceptives

Other contraceptive methods such as condoms, diaphragm, vaginal spermicide, and injections
