The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) proposes amending the rules applicable to preferred and exclusive provider health benefit plans. The amendments implement network adequacy requirements contained in House Bill 3359 (88R, 2023) and out-of-network payment standards and balance billing protections from Senate Bill 2476 (88R) and SB 1264 (86R). The rules also address consumer protections, disclosures, guaranteed renewability, and contracting requirements, including provisions implementing additional legislation from 2023: HB 711, HB 1647, HB 1696, HB 2002, and SB 1003.
