TRUTH in Coverage Act of 2026 Treatment and Restoration Uniformity...
To amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage that provide benefits for sex-rejecting procedures to provide benefits for items and services to address the harms caused by sex-rejecting procedures and to restore healthy human form and functioning, to the greatest extent practicable.
This bill aims to change certain health laws so that health insurance plans must cover treatments for the harms caused by specific medical procedures and work to restore normal health, to the best of their ability. Specifically, it targets procedures that the bill refers to as "sex-rejecting." The bill was introduced on July 16, 2026, and has been referred to several committees for review and consideration.
This bill would affect people with health insurance that covers "sex-rejecting procedures." If passed, it would require those plans to also cover treatments meant to address any harm from these procedures and help restore normal health. This means more people could potentially access these necessary treatments through their insurance.
As of July 16, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, as well as the Committees on Education and Workforce, and Ways and Means. These committees will review the bill, hold hearings, and potentially make changes before it moves forward in the legislative process. This is the current status of the bill, and no further actions have been taken yet.
