HB 1959 Support One-Pager – Empower Patients to Choose High-Value Care and Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs
TAHP supports House Bill 1959, which removes outdated regulatory barriers that prevent insurers from offering patient incentives for choosing high-quality, lower-cost providers. While federal transparency rules encourage value-based shopping, Texas law still restricts the use of tools like cost-sharing reductions and provider rankings. HB 1959 builds on prior reforms by allowing health plans to design benefits that prioritize the patient’s best interest—helping more Texans save money and make informed care decisions.
