Texas lawmakers push bills to bolster managed care protections
Legislation filed by Republicans and Democrats would require HMOs to inform patients, allow recourse for negligent care, and remove gag clauses. Aimed at creating a first in nation liability framework, the bills also propose a patient report card, stricter privacy protections, and balance between care quality and costs. Leaders from Texans for Quality Health Care urge careful crafting to avoid limiting access or raising costs.
