HHSC will hold a public hearing on August 8, 2012, at 10:30 a.m. to receive comment on proposed interim per diem Medicaid reimbursement rates for DADS-operated, small and large, state-operated ICFs/IDs. The hearing will be held in the Lone Star Conference Room.
HHSC adopted the following per day payment rates for the state-owned veterans NFs nursing facilities, effective March 1, 2012: Big Spring, $146.00; Bonham, $146.00; Floresville, $146.00; Temple, $146.00; McAllen, $146.00; El Paso, $146.00; and Amarillo, $146.00.
HHSC intends to submit an amendment to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, which would modify the reimbursement methodology in the state plan for NFs to add a methodology for supplemental payments for non-state government-owned NFs.
