The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) notified all Long Term Services and Supports Providers about tentative plans for late-January Health and Human Services Commission system changes that will affect all claim payments. Because of a system upgrade, claims will not be paid between January 24 and February 6, 2008. For more information, download the letter here.
DADS notified Home and Community-based Services (HCS), Texas Home Living (TxHmL) Service Providers, and Mental Retardation Authorities about training on the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) option. CDS is scheduled to be implemented in early 2008. For a list of training dates and locations, download the letter here.
DADS informed HCS and TxHmL providers that there will be no claims payment processing on December 21, 2007, because of state holiday closures on December 24, 25, and 26, 2007. The processing schedule will resume on December 28, 2007. Download the letter for more information.
