Statement of Purpose

This subchapter implements the provisions of the Texas Consumer Choice of Benefits Health Insurance Plan Act to achieve the legislative goal of providing individuals, employers, and other purchasers of health care coverage in this state the opportunity to choose health benefit plans that are more affordable and flexible than plans available in the existing market. To that end, the Legislature has authorized health carriers to issue policies or evidences of coverage that, in whole or in part, do not offer or provide certain state-mandated health benefits.
