Texas HB3914 mandates health benefit plans to cover first responders' medical treatment for work-related injuries, regardless of workers'.

HB3914 requires health benefit plans to cover first responders' medical treatment for injuries sustained in the course of employment, even if the workers' compensation claim is initially denied. First responders include peace officers, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and firefighters. Health benefit plans must pay providers for treatment regardless of the workers' compensation claim status. If the workers' compensation claim is later accepted, the carrier must reimburse the health benefit plan and the first responder for any copayments or deductibles.
