TAHP Testimony in Support of SB 963 (MCO Private Coverage Outreach) 3.12.25
TAHP supports SB 963, which ensures Medicaid MCOs can inform enrollees about affordable private insurance options. With nearly five million uninsured Texans—more than double the national average—this bill provides a simple way to connect families to existing, low-cost plans.
Many individuals losing Medicaid eligibility are unaware they qualify for discounted private coverage, leaving them at risk of becoming uninsured. SB 963 addresses this gap by ensuring families receive the information they need to maintain coverage, reducing uncompensated care costs and strengthening the individual insurance market.
