The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) informed DADS Long Term Care Services and Supports Providers of the “importance and usefulness†of the Remittance and Status (R&S) Report Information in a letter dated May 18. To avoid incorrect and inaccurate billing, providers must make sure information is accurate.
DADS reminded providers that a new fiscal year is approaching, so they need to review R&S reports carefully. For more information, download the letter here.
In a May 22 letter, DADS informed all contracted providers that individuals receiving Foster Care Medicaid and Adoption Subsidy Medicaid were closed out in the System Application, Verification, Eligibility, Referral, and Reporting system and transitioned to the Texas Integrated Eligibility Redesign System (TIERS), effective February 1, 2007.
Some providers may have received notices, in error, that individuals are not eligible for Medicaid because of the change. If you received such a notice, you’ll need to verify the information by using the Medicaid Eligibility Service Authorization Verification Report or by checking the person’s current Medicaid card.
