HB 138 Support One-Pager – Voluntary Cost Transparency Tool Empowers Smarter Health Policy
TAHP supports House Bill 138, which creates a new voluntary tool—HICCAP (Health, Insurance, Cost, and Coverage Analysis Program)—to help Texas lawmakers better understand how proposed legislation impacts the cost of private health coverage. At least 29 other states already use similar tools. HB 138 leverages the state’s All-Payer Claims Database to produce data-driven impact analyses for key legislative proposals, helping lawmakers avoid unintended cost hikes for employers and families.
