The new payment rates can be accessed through the HHSC Rate Analysis website at the following address: http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/rad/long-term-svcs/index.shtml

Claims Submission
Providers should continue to bill using their normal billing process. Once the electronic payment system has been updated with the new rates, a retroactive adjustment will occur allowing the new rate for claims for dates of service beginning September 1, 2014; therefore, no additional action is required by individual providers.
