TEXAS SALES TAX LEGISLATIVE UPDATE MEDICAL AND DENTAL BILLING SERVICES salestaxtexas.com
INTRODUCTION When the Texas Legislature took up the issue in their current session, they affirmatively decided these billing services would not be subject to Texas sales tax.
HISTORY: WHO IS DOING THE WORK The knowledge required by the service provider performing medical billing services – coding, verification of insurance eligibility, and claims preparation – elevates this service to a higher technical level than data processing, making it nontaxable.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS FAVOR OF TAXPAYERS HB 1445 amended Tex. Tax Code Ann. Sec. 151.0035 (b) to exclude from insurance services a “medical or dental billing service performed before the original submission of: (A) a medical or dental insurance claim related to health or dental coverage; or (B) a claim related to health or dental coverage made to a medical assistance program funded by the federal government, a state government, or both. Interestingly, the policy shift did not indicate these services would be treated as taxable data processing services (like other billing services). They would be considered taxable insurance services.
