HB 2583 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a group health benefit plan policy or contract holder's obligation to pay premiums on behalf of an individual after the individual's eligibility for group coverage terminates.

HB 2583 clarifies that if a group health plan provider (like an employer) notifies an insurer or health maintenance organization after the end of the month when a member's coverage ended, the insurer may stop charging premiums for that member for future months. This applies only if no covered health services were provided to the member after their coverage officially terminated. The bill directly affects group health plan sponsors and insurers by modifying their premium liability rules for late termination notifications. It does not change eligibility rules but provides a mechanism to avoid billing for coverage that no longer exists.
