HB 2076 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to health benefit plan coverage of anxiety and pain management in connection with insertion or removal of prescription contraceptive devices.

HB 2076 requires health insurance plans that cover prescription contraceptive devices (like IUDs or implants) to also cover evidence-based anxiety and pain management specifically for the insertion or removal of these devices. This applies to all health benefit plans issued, delivered, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026. The law mandates coverage for proven methods to address discomfort during these medical procedures, not general anxiety or pain treatment. It directly affects insurance providers and plan members seeking contraceptive care. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, with the coverage requirement applying to future plans starting in 2026.
