HB 5098 establishes an electronic health record loan program to assist certain healthcare facilities in purchasing and implementing electronic health record systems. The program, administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, will provide low-interest loans to eligible healthcare facilities, with a preference for those in medically underserved or rural areas and those serving Medicaid recipients. Loans may cover up to 80% of costs for facilities in priority categories and 50% for others, with a maximum repayment period of 10 years. The commission may accept public and private funding to support the program​.
