Proposed Rule

For more information, see the relevant section of the September 14 Texas Register.
Correction, Open Meeting, and Pre-Application Orientation
Correction from HHSC: “Due to a Texas Register mistake, a typographical error appears in the first line of the notice on page 5212, second column. The number “07-0066” should be “07-066″. The first line of the notice should read as follows:
‘The Texas Health and Human Services Commission announces its intent to submit Amendment 765, Transmittal Number TX 07-066…'”
HHSC will hold a public meeting on proposed Medicaid payment rates for procedure codes relating to physician-administered drugs and contraceptives. The meeting will be held on October 1, 2007, at 1:00 p.m., in the Lone Star Conference Room of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Braker Center, Building H, located at 11209 Metric Boulevard, Austin, Texas.
For more information about the correction and the hearing, see the relevant section of the September 14 Texas Register.
The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) will hold a Pre-Application Orientation for people who want to participate as a program contractor in the Home and Community-Based Services and/or the Texas Home Living Medicaid Waiver Programs. The processing fee for each registering legal entity is $25.00. For more information, see the relevant section of the September 14 Texas Register.
