Where can you find legal information on domestic partner health insurance in Texas?

Answer 1

There is no mandate for domestic partner coverage in Texas. The following insurance companies voluntarily offer domestic partner coverage in Texas: Aetna, Ameritas, CIGNA, Great West Life, Guardian, Kaiser Permanente, Mutual of Omaha, New York Life and Health, Pacificare and United Healthcare. If you are looking to purchase a policy, they will have information for you. If you are looking for coverage through your employer, then you should know that employers in Texas are free to either provide or not provide domestic partner coverage. You should ask your HR department or union whether such coverage is available. Some municipal employers in Texas, such as the City of Dallas, offer DP coverage to eligible employees.
