TRUTH in Coverage Act of 2026

Introduced 2026-07-16Topic: health care · civil rightsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require group health plans and health insurers that cover gender transition procedures (which the bill calls "sex-rejecting procedures") to also cover care for the harms or complications of those procedures, including what it calls "restorative care." This coverage would apply whether or not the person's own plan paid for the original procedure. Cost-sharing and treatment limits for this care could not be stricter than those for most other medical and surgical benefits. The bill defines male, female, and sex by reproductive biology, lists the procedures covered by the rule, and makes exceptions for care such as treatment of disorders of sex development. The rules would apply to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
