SB 818 establishes the Health Impact, Cost, and Coverage Analysis Program within the Center for Health Care Data at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The program will assess the impact of proposed legislative mandates on health benefit plans, including costs, usage, and access. Legislators may request analyses of proposed legislation, which will include estimates of financial impact, public and private sector effects, and health outcomes. Health benefit plan issuers will be subject to fees to fund the program, with results published online.
