Hearing. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) will hold a public hearing on July 16, 2025, from 2:00 to 3:45 p.m. CDT to receive public comments on the proposed Medicaid payment rates.

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6143391925292684381

Any updates to the hearing details will be posted on the HHSC website at https://www.hhs.texas.gov/about/meetings-events.

Proposal. HHSC proposes Medicaid payment rate actions for Nursing Facilities and Nursing Facility Special Reimbursement Class for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, effective September 1, 2025.

Methodology and Justification. Nursing facilities provide institutional care to Medicaid recipients whose medical condition regularly requires the skills of licensed nurses. The nursing facilities must provide for the total medical, social, and psychological needs of each client, including room and board, social services, over-the-counter drugs, medical supplies and equipment, and personal care items.

Rider 25 of the 2026-27 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill (S.B) 1, 89th Legislature, Regular Session, 2025 (Article II, HHSC, Rider 25) provides appropriations for reimbursement rate increases for NFs to fund dietary and administrative costs for nursing facilities.

Public Notice: Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) Waiver Program Amendment

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is submitting a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to amend the waiver application for the Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) waiver program authorized under §1915(c) of the Social Security Act. CMS has approved the DBMD waiver application through February 29, 2028. The requested effective date for the proposed amendment is September 1, 2025.

The amendment request proposes to make changes relating to the following appendices: B, C, D, I and J.

HHSC amended Appendix I and J of the waiver application based on the 2026-27 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill 1, 89th Legislature, Regular Session, 2025, (Article II, HHSC, Rider 23).

HHSC amended Appendix B, C and D of the waiver to align with the CMS revised 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver Application and Technical Guide released by CMS in December 2024.

Appendix B

HHSC selected the following Medicaid eligibility groups served in the waiver, based on CMS adding new checkboxes. Parents and Other Caretaker Relatives, Pregnant Women, and Infants and Children under Age 19.

Historically, HHSC had these groups listed in the "Other specified groups section," before there was a checkbox for these groups. With the additional checkboxes, HHSC removed the groups from the "Other specified groups." HHSC did not add any new eligibility groups to the waiver through this amendment. This change was to align with the CMS checkboxes.

Appendix C

To align with policy, HHSC added language to the case management service definition to clarify the frequency of face-to-face service delivery with the individual receiving services.

HHSC removed duplicative language in the physical therapy service definition. Duplicative language removed "Physical therapy services include: screening and assessment; developing therapeutic treatment plans; providing direct therapeutic intervention; recommending adaptive aids; training and assisting with adaptive aids; consulting with other providers and family members; and participating on the service planning team, when appropriate."

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, HHSC provided information in the new Home and Community-Based Settings section C-5, to provide a description of the settings in which the DBMD services are received; description of the means by which HHSC ascertains that all waiver settings meet federal HCBS Setting requirements, at the time of this submission and in the future as part of ongoing monitoring; attested to the requirements that each setting will meet; and that the waiver does include provider-owned or controlled settings that meet the CMS settings requirements.

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, in C-2 b, HHSC clarified the requirements for ensuring continuity of care for a waiver participant. HHSC clarified that licensed Home and Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSAs) ensure the client continues to receive services as specified in the plan of care. HHSC regulatory monitors licensed HCSSA providers to ensure that services are provided as ordered or authorized. In addition, the DBMD program rules require a backup plan for services that are critical to the individual's health and safety. HHSC Contract Administration Provider Monitoring (CAPM) monitors DBMD providers for DBMD specific requirements.

In section C-2 g, HHSC checked the new CMS checkbox to indicate that HCBS may not be provided while an individual is an acute care hospital.

Appendix D

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, HHSC added language in the service plan development process section to include a temporary or provisional service plan process for an individual in an emergency in order to initiate services in advance before a finalized plan is created for an individual.

To align with the new 3.7 waiver application CMS changes, HHSC checked the boxes that assures compliance on the service plan HCBS settings requirements.

Appendix I

Appendix J

HHSC revised the calculations for the overall projected cost of waiver services (Factor D) for waiver years three (3/1/25- 2/28/26) through five (3/1/27 - 2/29/28). The updated projections in Appendix J account for rate increases for the following services provided by the waiver provider: Employment Readiness, Assisted Living (18 hour and 24 hour), Chore Services, and Individualized Skills and Socialization (On-site and Off-site); as well as the following services provided by the waiver provider and through the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) option: Employment Assistance, Supported Employment, Intervener, Respite (In Home) and Residential Habilitation.

HHSC also updated projections for the annual average per capita Medicaid costs for all non-waiver institutional services (Factor G) for waiver years three through five in Appendix J.

The proposed rate changes in the amendment are estimated to result in an annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure of $8,897 for federal fiscal year 2025, consisting of $5,338 in federal funds and $3,559 in state general revenue. For federal fiscal year 2026, the estimated annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure is $53,157, consisting of $31,804 in federal funds and $21,353 in state general revenue. For federal fiscal year 2027, the estimated annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure is $53,460, consisting of $31,985 in federal funds and $21,475 in state general revenue. For federal fiscal year 2028, the estimated annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure is $57,244, consisting of $34,249 in federal funds and $22,995 in state general revenue.

DBMD Program Overview

Current services in the DBMD waiver are employment readiness, case management, residential habilitation, respite (in-home and out of home), supported employment, prescribed medications, financial management services, support consultation, adaptive aids and medical supplies, assisted living, audiology services, behavioral support, chore services, dental treatment, dietary services, employment assistance, intervener, minor home modifications, nursing, occupational therapy services, orientation and mobility, physical therapy services, speech, hearing and language therapy, transition assistance services and individualized skills and socialization.

Public Notice: Texas Home Living (TxHmL) Waiver Program Amendment

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is submitting a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to amend the waiver application for the Texas Home Living (TxHmL) waiver program authorized under §1915(c) of the Social Security Act. CMS has approved the TxHmL waiver application through February 28, 2027. The requested effective date for the proposed amendment is September 1, 2025.

The amendment request proposes to make changes relating to the following appendices: B, C, D, I and J.

HHSC amended Appendix I and J of the waiver application based on the 2026-27 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill 1, 89th Legislature, Regular Session, 2025, (Article II, HHSC, Rider 23).

HHSC amended Appendix B, C and D of the waiver to align with the CMS revised 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver Application and Technical Guide released by CMS in December 2024.

Appendix B

Appendix C

HHSC to align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, indicated services that are allowed via remote/telehealth delivery and updated the corresponding service definitions.

Services impacted by this update: Audiology Services, Behavioral Support, Dietary Services, Financial Management Services, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Services, Physical Therapy Services, and Speech-Language Pathology.

For each service listed above that may be delivered via remote/telehealth delivery, HHSC added the following language, "As appropriate for the individual and as permitted by service-specific requirements, the modalities for delivering the service include in person, synchronous audio-visual, and telephone. Program providers must defer to the needs of the individual receiving services and ensure the mode of service delivery is accessible, person-centered, and not driven by provider convenience. The service delivered using synchronous audio-visual technology must be clinically appropriate, safe, and agreed to by the individual receiving services or by the legally authorized representative (LAR). It must also conform to the privacy requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The individual or LAR must consent to the delivery of the service using synchronous audio-visual technology and the consent must be documented in the individual's record. Verbal consent is permissible and should also be documented in the individual's record. The program provider or CDS employer documents in the implementation plan that consent for the use of synchronous audio-visual technology has been obtained and documented in the individual's plan."

HHSC populated the new Remote/Telehealth Delivery of Waiver Services section. Language in this section includes: in-person requirements, how individual privacy is respected, HHSC community integration policy, successful delivery of services for persons who need hands on assistance/physical assistance, technology support, and ensuring individual health and safety.

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, HHSC provided information in the new Home and Community-Based Settings (HCBS) section C-5 to provide a description of the settings in which the TxHmL services are received; description of the means by which HHSC ascertains that all waiver settings meet federal HCBS requirements, at the time of this submission and in the future as part of ongoing monitoring; attested to the requirements that each setting will meet; and that the waiver does not include provider-owned or controlled settings.

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, in C-2 b, HHSC clarified the process for ensuring continuity of care for a waiver participant by adding a reference to 26 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) section 566, which requires in TxHmL settings when the provider agency removes a caregiver from an individual receiving services, the provider must ensure the individual continues to receive services. HHSC long-term care regulatory monitors provider agencies to ensure that services are provided as ordered or authorized.

In C-1 c, HHSC clarified the HCBS settings regulation and person-centered planning training requirements for the service coordinator.

In section C-2 g, HHSC checked the new CMS checkbox to indicate that HCBS may not be provided while an individual is an acute care hospital to align with existing policy.

Appendix D: Participant-Centered Planning and Service Delivery

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, in D-1 a, HHSC provided information on the training requirements for the HCBS settings criteria and person-centered service plan development.

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, in D-1 d ii, HHSC checked the boxes to attest to the information on the service plan HCBS settings requirements.

To align with the CMS technical guide and waiver application changes, in D-1 b and D-2 b, HHSC updated information in the Service Plan Development Safeguards and Service Plan Implementation and Monitoring sections to attest to the processes in place to ensure participant safeguards regarding the participants right to choose their provider, that there is a dispute resolution process, that HHSC has oversight of the process, the restriction on the entity that develops the service plan from providing services without approval from HHSC, and that HHSC attests that the agency that develops the service plan is administratively separate from the direct service provider functions.

Appendix I

Appendix J

HHSC revised the calculations for the overall projected cost of waiver services (Factor D) for waiver years four (3/1/25-2/28/26) through five (3/1/26-2/28/27). The updated projections in appendix J account for rate increases for the following services provided by the waiver provider and through the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) option: Employment Assistance and Supported Employment, Respite (In Home and Out-of-Home), Individualized Skills and Socialization, Employment Readiness and Community Support.

HHSC also updated projections for the annual average per capita Medicaid costs for all non-waiver institutional services (Factor G) for waiver years four through five in Appendix J.

The proposed rate changes in the amendment are estimated to result in an annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure of $93,284 for federal fiscal year 2025, consisting of $55,970 in federal funds and $37,314 in state general revenue. For federal fiscal year 2026, the estimated annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure is $2,678,293, consisting of $1,602,423 in federal funds and $1,075,870 in state general revenue. For federal fiscal year 2027, the estimated annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure is $2,693,590, consisting of $1,611,575 in federal funds and $1,082,015 in state general revenue. For federal fiscal year 2028, the estimated annual aggregate fee-for-service expenditure is $2,884,192, consisting of $1,725,612 in federal funds and $1,158,580 in state general revenue.
