DADS released three information letters:
PACE providers:
DADS reminded these providers to use the applicant’s/participant’s physical address when completing all documentation for Medicaid. The PACE site’s address should not be used on these forms. (Letter)
DADS clarified the date to be used as the “End Date” when completing the PACE SAS Registration Form used for data entry into the Service Authorization System (SAS) (Letter):
“The client may voluntarily disenroll from Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) at any time, but the effective date of disenrollment must be the last day of the month.”
Therefore, participants who choose to voluntarily disenroll from PACE may do so at any time during the month, however, the “End Date,” which is recorded on the PACE SAS Registration Form must be the last day of the month of the participant’s disenrollment. If the disenrollment is due to the participants death, the “End Date” recorded on the PACE SAS Registration Form must be the actual date of death.
ICF/MR:
An error on Form H3087, Medical Care Identification, inadvertently deleted the dental coverage indicator for Medicaid residents in ICFs/MR. HHSC is working on addressing the problem. If an ICF/MR resident needs dental coverage, please contact the TMHP at 1-800-925-9126. (Letter)
