Relating to health benefit plan coverage for conversion therapy.

HB 2784 prohibits health benefit plans from covering conversion therapy, which is defined as attempts to change a person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. The bill applies to all major health insurance plans in Texas, including individual/group policies, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations, and church-based health benefits. It specifically bans coverage for treatments seeking to alter sexual orientation or reduce same-sex attractions, as outlined in the bill's definitions. This policy change directly affects insurance providers and health plans that currently cover such therapies, requiring them to exclude conversion therapy from covered services.
