HHS Releases
Final Title X Rule Detailing Family Planning Grant Program
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) today issued the final rule to
revise the regulations governing the Title X family planning
program, which focuses on serving low-income Americans.
The final rule ensures
compliance with statutory program integrity provisions governing
the program and, in particular, the statutory prohibition on
funding programs where abortion is a method of family planning. The
final rule amends the Title X regulation, which had not been
substantially updated in nearly two decades, and makes notable
improvements designed to increase the number of patients served and
improve the quality of their care.
