Bill Caption

Relating to county authority to balance bill for county air ambulance services.

Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

SB 790 would allow counties to consider a health benefit plan payment toward a claim for air ambulance services provided by the county as payment in full for those services.  The bill would prohibit counties from charging an enrollee in a health benefit plan to recover costs if it chooses to consider a payment towards a claim for air ambulance services.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Because SB 790 is permissive, allowing a county to choose to accept certain payments for air ambulance services and does not make any insurance mandates, Texas Action remains neutral.
