The following information was obtained from the July 18 issue of the Texas Register:
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has proposed the repeal of §§371.212 – 371.214 and new §371.212 and §371.214, because of a typographical error in the fax number listed in the Public Comment section of the preamble of the proposal. The correct fax number is (512) 833-6487.
HHSC has adopted the following interim per diem reimbursement rate for small, state-operated Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Mental Retardation, including facilities operated by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services: $340.99. The final rate is effective September 1, 2007.
The HHSC, Office of Inspector General, will hold a public hearing on August 1, 2008, to receive comments on the proposed repeal of §§371.212 – 371.214 and proposed new §371.212 and §371.214 of Title 1, Part 15, Chapter 371, Subchapter C of the Texas Administrative Code.
Finally, HHSC has announced its intent to submit Transmittal Number 08-013, Amendment Number 817, to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, which would assure CMS that the State of Texas complies with the Medicaid Integrity Program, outlined in sections 1936 and 1902(a)(69) of the Social Security Act.
