Bill Caption
Relating to coverage for treatment of craniofacial abnormalities under certain
health benefit plans.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This bill would require insurers to cover treatment of the primary conditions constituting craniofacial abnormalities and secondary conditions related to or arising from craniofacial abnormalities.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Texas Action recommends opposing this bill because it is a violation of our limited government and free markets principles. The bill would impose a new insurance mandate and
would require insurers to cover certain procedures that they otherwise might
not.
