The updated transition plan that was submitted to CMS in February has been posted to the HHSC website. Please note, this plan has not received final approval as CMS and HHSC are focused on COVID-19 response.
We are assessing whether changes are needed to any CMS deliverable due dates because of delays in milestone work. At this time, we do not expect implementation timelines for new proposals to change. However, the situation continues to evolve and HHSC will adjust our response as necessary.
Best Practices Workgroup: Scheduled Survey 2.1 Subgroup Calls have been completed with Best Practices Workgroup members, and HHSC will share a summary of the calls as well as distribute the second round of Survey 2 with Workgroup members tentatively by May 4th.
DSRIP Providers will receive two surveys next week that will provide input on Transition Plan milestone work. The first will ask about service that have been provided through DSRIP that could be considered for addition to the Texas Medicaid Program benefit package. The second will ask about billing practices and potential policy changes that could expand the availability of current services. DSRIP providers will have at least two weeks to complete the surveys. We appreciate your participation and feedback.
