Texas hospitals prepare to gather data on treatment of non-citizens
SUMMARY: Starting November 1, Texas hospitals will be required to ask patients about their citizenship status, as mandated by Governor Abbott’s executive order. This initiative aims to gather data on the costs of healthcare provided to uninsured undocumented immigrants, with reports to be submitted quarterly by March 2025.
