Digest
HB 1310 requires the Health and Human Services Commission to compile and report annual data on costs incurred by Texas and its political subdivisions for providing inpatient and emergency healthcare to uninsured patients who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents. Public hospitals must notify such patients of the data collection requirement without affecting their access to care. The report, submitted to the governor and legislature, includes recommendations for federal reimbursement options.
