Bill > HB3090

This bill modifies existing Texas insurance law by expanding health benefit plan coverage for hearing aids and cochlear implants. Specifically, the legislation changes the age requirement for coverage from 18 years old to 25 years old, meaning that health insurance plans must now provide coverage for medically necessary hearing aids, cochlear implants, and related services and supplies for individuals up to 25 years of age. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will apply only to health benefit plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026. This means that insurance plans issued or renewed before January 1, 2026, will continue to be governed by the previous version of the law, effectively providing a transition period for insurance providers to adjust their plans to meet the new age coverage requirement.
