HB 4666 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain reports required to be prepared or submitted by or in collaboration with the Health and Human Services Commission or submitted to the governor or a member of the legislature under the Health and Safety Code.

HB 4666 modifies reporting requirements for Texas' Health and Human Services Commission related to Medicaid programs. It changes annual reports to quarterly updates for the Data Analysis Unit and adds new reports on anomalies to the inspector general. The bill requires the Commission to submit biennial reports on Medicaid system implementation, including assessments of access, care quality, and recommendations for improvements. These changes directly affect the Commission, its Data Analysis Unit, and legislative committees overseeing Medicaid. The bill updates existing reporting schedules under the Health and Safety Code without altering Medicaid program benefits or funding.
