Texas HB1310 requires an annual report on costs for health care services provided to foreign patients.

Texas HB1310 mandates the Health and Human Services Commission to collect and report annually on the costs incurred by the state and political subdivisions for providing inpatient health care services and emergency care to uninsured foreign patients. The report must include recommendations for seeking federal reimbursement. The commission will begin collecting data in November 2025 and submit the first report by January 1, 2027. Public hospitals must inform affected patients about the data collection, ensuring them that it does not affect their care under federal law.
