Relating to the health benefit plan coverage of and reimbursement for the treatment of a first responder's injuries sustained within the course and scope of employment.
HB 3914 requires health benefit plans in Texas to cover and reimburse treatment for work-related injuries sustained by first responders. The bill defines "first responder" to include police officers, emergency medical personnel (such as EMTs and paramedics), firefighters, and volunteer firefighters or emergency medical services volunteers. It applies to various health plans, including group insurance, health maintenance organizations, and other specified coverage types. This policy change ensures these workers receive necessary medical care without financial barriers for job-related injuries.
