The following information was obtained from the April 27 issue of the Texas Register.
HHSC has entered into a sole source agreement for consulting services for May 15, 2012. The consultant will, among other things, assist HHSC in meeting standards and requirements of the waiver under section 1115 of the Social Security Act.
HHSC intends to submit transmittal number 12-022 to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, which would exempt services provided by psychologists, psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, and specific services related to the transport of portable x-ray equipment and personnel from Medicare Equalization. See the Texas Register for details about both notices.
