Relating to health benefit plan coverage of hearing aids and cochlear implants for certain individuals.

HB 3090 requires health benefit plans in Texas to cover medically necessary hearing aids and cochlear implants, along with related services and supplies, for individuals 25 years of age or younger. This applies specifically to plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, meaning current plans remain unaffected until that date. The law mandates coverage for devices deemed medically necessary by a healthcare provider, directly impacting young Texans (under 25) enrolled in qualifying health insurance plans. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, but the coverage requirement begins in 2026 for new or renewed plans.
