House Bill 4559 amends the Government Code to require the Commission on Jail Standards to adopt procedures by which a mental health authority or other mental health services provider providing contracted services to a county jail prisoner who is covered by health benefits coverage may collect from the prisoner any information necessary for the prisoner to obtain benefits under the coverage. The bill authorizes such a provider to arrange for the issuer of the health benefits coverage to pay for those services.
