TRUTH in Coverage Act of 2026 Treatment and Restoration Uniformity...
A bill 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 possible.
SB5030 is a bill aimed at changing health insurance plans. It wants these plans to cover more treatments if they already cover certain medical procedures that people sometimes choose to reject their sex characteristics. The bill specifically targets those procedures and requires that insurance plans also cover treatments to fix any problems caused by those procedures, and to help restore normal body functions as much as possible.
This bill would affect people who have health insurance that covers sex-rejecting procedures and those who might need treatments for the effects of those procedures. Essentially, it would ensure that people get the full range of necessary care related to these procedures if their insurance already covers the initial ones.
SB5030 was introduced on July 16, 2026, and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further review. This is the most recent action on the bill, and it is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
