- HHSC and DADS will host LTSS provider meetings in the Dallas and Tarrant service areas, which will allow HHSC, DADS, and five selected STAR+PLUS health maintenance organizations to present information for successful implementation of the STAR+PLUS program expansion. See the alert page for dates and times.
- News alert for HCS providers:
Concerns have been raised by stakeholders over issues surrounding IPCs in the CARE system and the 7-day time period a MR authority service coordinator has to review an IPC in the CARE system for their agreement or disagreement. Specifically:
Issues around entire IPC service authorizations being put on hold in CARE when an IPC revision has been added, not allowing an HCS program provider to enter service claims for services authorized on a previous IPC; and
concerns over the 7-day period in which an MR authority service coordinator has to review an IPC; the length of time given to MR authority service coordinators to agree or disagree in CARE is considered too long.
See the news alert page for previous alerts.
