Relating to health benefit plan coverage for certain obesity medications.
HB 2412 requires most health insurance plans in Texas to cover a specific class of prescription medications used to treat obesity, such as certain injectable drugs. The law applies to plans providing prescription drug coverage, including individual/group policies, health maintenance organizations, and Medicaid. Coverage must be provided for plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, though the bill itself takes effect September 1, 2025. This mandate does not apply to all obesity medications, only the specified class of drugs.
