Attention: Providers
Effective date: September 1, 2025
Call to action: Effective September 1, 2025, Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) is updating its list of prenatal vitamins eligible for a 90-day supply.
To promote consistency in care and support medication adherence, select prenatal vitamins will be available for 90-day dispensing for STAR and CHIP pregnant members. All other prenatal vitamins covered on the formulary are subject to the typical 30-day supply.
How this impacts providers:
Providers are encouraged to prescribe from the updated list of prenatal vitamins eligible for 90-day supply when clinically appropriate, as reducing pharmacy visits may improve member adherence.
Please ensure prescriptions for these eligible vitamins are written explicitly for a 90-day supply.
