What does “FALSE REPORT STATEMENT OFFICER/AGENT HMO” mean?
“FALSE REPORT STATEMENT OFFICER/AGENT HMO” stands for False Report or Statement by an HMO Officer or Agent, a Class B misdemeanor.
Texas Insurance Code § 843.464 is a criminal provision in Chapter 843 of the Insurance Code, the chapter that licenses and regulates health maintenance organizations. The offense, abbreviated on court records as "FALSE REPORT STATEMENT OFFICER/AGENT HMO," addresses false reports or statements made in connection with a health maintenance organization by or to an officer or agent of the organization — in substance, knowingly making a materially false statement or report concerning the organization's business or the reports and filings the chapter requires. The culpable mental state is knowledge of the falsity, and the cited subsection grades the conduct as a Class B misdemeanor. Because the offense sits in the Insurance Code's regulatory scheme for health maintenance organizations rather than in the Penal Code, its reach is limited to statements connected to such an organization's operations, distinguishing it from general false-statement offenses.
