IN RE:
SB1076 by Schwertner (Relating to amounts charged to an enrollee in a health benefit plan for prescription drugs covered by the plan. ), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Insurance Code relating to amounts charged to an enrollee in a health benefit plan for prescription drugs covered by the plan. Based on information provided by the Texas Department of Insurance, this analysis assumes the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
According to the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), the provisions of the bill would not impact Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP); therefore, no significant fiscal impact to HHSC would be anticipated.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
