Relating to the expansion of eligibility for Medicaid to certain individuals under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

HB 4910 would expand Texas Medicaid eligibility to all individuals meeting federal criteria under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), automatically enrolling them without additional screening. It directly affects Texans who qualify for ACA-based Medicaid but currently lack coverage due to Texas' existing eligibility limits. The bill requires the state to implement this expansion by January 1, 2026, and mandates annual reports tracking impacts on uninsured rates, state/local healthcare costs, and hospital charity care. Key provisions include automatic eligibility under federal rules and reporting requirements to the legislature on program effects.
