Texas HHSC provides update on telehealth expansion under HB 4 - State of Reform stateofreform.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from stateofreform.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The state simultaneously sent a request for clarification on CMS’s requirements for the enhanced FMAP funds, asking whether it’s allowed to claim the enhanced funds for only a subset of eligible services. The letter also asks for clarifications related to sustainability expectations for items in this proposal, and whether the state may discontinue the enhanced support before the end of the public health crisis. HHSC won’t claim enhanced funding until these clarifications are received from CMS.
The plan lays out three broad goals: supporting providers, supporting recipients, and enhancing and strengthening Texas’s HCBS infrastructure.
