Bill Summary
Relating to health benefit coverage for hearing aids for children and adults.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Insurance Code to require health benefit plans to provide coverage for hearing aids for both children and adults. Specifically, it adds a new subchapter to the existing Chapter 1365 that applies to a wide range of health benefit plans, including individual, group, and employer-sponsored plans. The bill prohibits plans from denying a claim solely on the basis that the hearing aid's price exceeds the plan's available benefit. The new law takes effect on January 1, 2024 and applies to plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after that date.
