Tex. Ins. Code § 1507.001 · Subchapter A. CONSUMER CHOICE OF BENEFITS HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS
PURPOSE.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
The legislature recognizes the need for individuals, employers, and other purchasers of coverage in this state to have the opportunity to choose health insurance plans that are more affordable and flexible than existing market policies offering accident and sickness insurance coverage. The legislature, therefore, seeks to increase the availability of health insurance coverage by allowing insurers authorized to engage in the business of insurance in this state to issue accident and sickness policies that, in whole or in part, do not offer or provide state-mandated health benefits.
