Testimony in Support of HB 4012 (Health Insurance Fraud, Waste, and Abuse) 4.17.25
TAHP supports House Bill 4012, which strengthens the state’s authority to combat fraud, waste, and abuse in commercial health plans. While Texas agencies can already pursue these cases in public programs like Medicaid, private employer-sponsored coverage has lacked similar enforcement tools. HB 4012 closes this gap by extending whistleblower protections, adding private insurers to existing fraud prevention partnerships, and authorizing TDI to investigate and retain a portion of financial recoveries. These reforms will protect patients and employers from rising costs driven by fraudulent actors.
