Testimony on HB 1818 (Annual Exam UR and Rx Mandate) 3.26.25

TAHP opposes House Bill 1818, which imposes costly, time-consuming and unnecessary annual examinations on health plans. Health plans already undergo extensive triennial exams. These triennial examinations can already last for weeks or even months, and include comprehensive reviews of preauthorization processes. Further, TDI can conduct targeted reviews if needed. Implementing annual exams would impose significant administrative burdens without clear benefits, increasing costs that ultimately impact employers and families.
