In a provider letter dated June 30, 2006, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services reminded community service providers, ICF-MR provider agencies, nursing facilities, and therapy providers of the “importance and usefulness” of Remittance and Status reports (R&S).
Providers should review the reports to make sure billing is correct and recoupments are valid. Providers should also alert the state office staff about incorrect billing and invalid recoupments within the 12-month filing period so that services can be re-billed. Inaccurate R&S reports can result in penalties and audits.
