INFORMATION ITEM

6. The 82nd Texas Legislature (S.B 7, 82nd Legislature, First Called Session, 2011, H.B. 1720, 82nd Legislature, First Called Session, 2011, and the 2012-13 General Appropriations Act [H.B. 1, Article II, Health and Human Services Commission, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011]) directed HHSC to:
- expand Medicaid managed care statewide;
- carve pharmacy benefits into managed care;
- create a Medicaid managed dental care program;
- strengthen managed care fraud, waste and abuse coordination; and
- implement related changes.

As a result, HHSC requested and received federal approval for a Section 1115 demonstration waiver to include the legislatively directed managed care initiatives, while preserving supplemental funding for hospital uncompensated care and instituting quality-based payment incentives.

The rules implement the managed care initiatives and, in addition, make technical corrections to the Texas Medicaid Wellness Program rules, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) rules, and the fair hearing rules.

Scott Schalchlin, Health and Human Services Commission

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULES/ACTION ITEMS:

7. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes, on behalf of the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), the repeal of §90.16, concerning change of ownership; new §90.16, concerning change of ownership; and an amendment to §90.61, concerning introduction, application, and general requirements for facilities for persons with mental retardation or related conditions, in Chapter 90, Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Mental Retardation or Related Conditions. The purpose of the amendment is to reflect Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) guidance in the rules. The CMS guidance changes the requirements for full evacuation of individuals during a fire drill from one time per year on each shift to full evacuation of individuals during all fire drills. The amendment also makes the rule consistent with rules concerning emergency preparedness at §90.50(f)(3)(B). New §90.16 makes rules regarding change of ownership in an intermediate care facility (ICF/ID) consistent with rules governing nursing facilities. The repeal of §90.16, regarding change of ownership, is necessary to adopt new rules on that subject.

Anthony Chapple, Department of Aging and Disability Services

8. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes, on behalf of the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), amendments to §19.101, Definitions, and §19.1601, Infection Control, in Chapter 19, Nursing Facility Requirements for Licensure and Medicaid Certification. The purpose of the amendments is to implement portions of S.B. 7, 82nd Legislature, First Called Session, 2011. The proposed amendments require nursing facilities to develop policies for the vaccination of employees and contractors as a means of protecting residents from vaccine preventable diseases in accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 224.

Randy Rowley, Department of Aging and Disability Services

9. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes, on behalf of the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), amendments to §90.3, Definitions, and §90.42, Standards for Facilities Serving Persons with Mental Retardation or Related Conditions; new §90.43, Administration of Medication; and new §90.329, Vaccine Preventable Disease, in Chapter 90, Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Mental Retardation or Related Conditions. The purpose of the amendments and new sections is to implement provisions of S.B. 1857, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, which added Human Resources Code, Chapter 161, Subchapter D-1, allowing administration of medication to a resident of an intermediate care facility by an unlicensed person under certain circumstances. DADS also initiated these changes in response to provisions of S.B. 7, 82nd Legislature, First Called Session, 2011, which requires facilities to develop and implement a policy to protect residents from vaccine preventable diseases in accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 224. This proposal also changes the title of Chapter 90 to Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Intellectual Disability or Related Conditions.

Marc Gold, Department of Aging and Disability Services

10. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes, on behalf of the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), amendments to §9.203, concerning definitions, and §9.219, concerning provider reimbursement, in Chapter 9, Mental Retardation Services--Medicaid State Operating Agency. The Human Resources Code §32.04242 requires HHSC to adopt rules to ensure, to the extent allowed by federal law, that Medicaid is the payor of last resort and provides reimbursement for services, including long-term care services, only if, and to the extent, other adequate sources of payment are not available. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires DADS to replace the current "pay and chase" method of cost recovery with the cost avoidance methodology to ensure third-party liability is determined before DADS pays a Medicaid claim.

Government Code §531.0227 requires health and human service agencies to use the preferred terms of "person first respectful language," as added by Government Code Chapter 392. To meet this requirement, the titles of the chapter and subchapter and definitions in Subchapter E are being amended. Minor changes were made throughout the proposal to update the rules and make them consistent with other DADS rules.

Larry North, Department of Aging and Disability Services

11. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes new §355.314, Supplemental Payments to Non-State Government-Owned Nursing Facilities. Federal law and regulations establish the maximum payment for which Medicaid will provide federal matching funds. The maximum payment is called the upper payment limit (UPL). This proposed rule establishes the methodology for determination and payment of supplemental UPL payments for a specific class of nursing facilities (NFs) defined as non-state government-owned NFs. Under this rule, non-state government-owned NFs may apply to receive supplemental payments determined in accordance with Medicaid UPL provisions codified at Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §447.272.

Pam McDonald, Health and Human Services Commission

12. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes new §355.458, concerning supplemental payments to non-state government-owned intermediate care facilities for persons with mental retardation (ICFs/MR). Federal law and regulations establish the maximum payment for which Medicaid will provide federal matching funds. This proposed rule establishes the methodology for determination and payment of supplemental UPL payments for a specific class of ICFs/MR defined as non-state government-owned ICFs/MR. Under this rule, non-state government-owned ICFs/MR may apply to receive supplemental payments determined in accordance with Medicaid UPL provisions codified at Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §447.272.

Pam McDonald, Health and Human Services Commission

13. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes to repeal §355.506, concerning Reimbursement Methodology for Consolidated Waiver Program (CWP). CWP was a pilot program, administered by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), to test the feasibility of combining five of the state's Medicaid waiver programs under §1915(c) of the Social Security Act. S.B. 705, 81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, abolished the CWP. In response to the legislation, HHSC and DADS terminated CWP effective December 31, 2011, and HHSC proposes to repeal the reimbursement methodology for CWP.

Sarah Hambrick, Health and Human Services Commission

14. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes to amend §354.1831 concerning Medicaid covered drugs. This proposed amendment removes the language in §354.1831(b), which states that, with a few exceptions, the Medicaid Vendor Drug Program (VDP) does not reimburse for vitamins and minerals. Currently, medically necessary vitamins and minerals are available for Medicaid clients under age 21 only through pharmacies that are specifically enrolled in the Medicaid Comprehensive Care Program (CCP). The 2012-13 General Appropriations Act, H.B. 1, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011 (Article II, Health and Human Services Commission, Rider 72), requires vitamins and minerals to be added to the VDP formulary so that all VDP-enrolled pharmacies can be reimbursed for this CCP benefit. Removing subparagraph (b) will allow HHSC to add vitamins and minerals to the VDP formulary and reimburse all VDP-enrolled pharmacies for this benefit for Medicaid clients under age 21.

Andy Vasquez, Health and Human Services Commission

15. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes to amend §354.1077, concerning provider participation requirements. The amendment is proposed to remove obsolete language in §354.1077(c) stating that hospitals located in the Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Lubbock, Nueces, Tarrant, or Travis service areas may not participate in Texas Medicaid unless they agree to provisions in §355.8064 relating to reimbursement adjustments for inpatient services provided to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and SSI-related clients. With the expansion of managed care statewide to be implemented on March 1, 2012, the provisions of §355.8064 will become obsolete. Therefore, §355.8064 was proposed for repeal in the January 20, 2012, issue of the Texas Register. The proposed amendment to §354.1077 will remove the obsolete reference to §355.8064.

Don Mann, Health and Human Services Commission

16. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes to amend §354.1072, concerning authorized inpatient hospital services. The 2012-13 General Appropriations Act, H.B. 1, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011 (Article II, Health and Human Services Commission, Rider 61(b)(23)), recommends that HHSC implement the Medicare billing prohibition as a Medicaid cost containment measure. The Medicare billing prohibition refers to Medicare's policy for payment of outpatient hospital services provided in hospital outpatient departments on either the day of or during the three calendar days before an inpatient admission.

Under this policy, a hospital (or an entity wholly owned or operated by a hospital) includes, in its charges for the inpatient hospital stay, charges for all diagnostic services and "other services related to the admission" that are provided during the three-day payment window. HHSC proposes to amend §354.1072 to implement the Medicare billing prohibition as part of the cost savings required by the General Appropriations Act.

Don Mann, Health and Human Services Commission

17. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes to add new §354.1451, Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor Program, relating to the implementation of a recovery audit contractor program. Section 7 of H.B. 1720 (82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011) amends Government Code, Chapter 531, Subchapter C, requiring HHSC to establish, to the extent required under §1902(a)(42) of the Social Security Act , a Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Program.

The Medicaid RAC Program is being established to comply with §1902(a)(42) of the Social Security Act to promote the integrity of the Medicaid program. The rule will establish a program in which HHSC contracts with one or more recovery audit contractors for purposes of identifying underpayments and overpayments under the Medicaid program and recovering the overpayments for services provided under the Medicaid State Plan or under any waiver of the Medicaid State Plan.

Jennifer Stansbury, Health and Human Services Commission

18. The Texas Medicaid program currently provides a maximum of two hearing aids for adults and children with hearing loss in both ears or one hearing aid for adults and children, who have hearing loss in only one ear, based on defined medical criteria. The 2012-13 General Appropriations Act (Article II, H.B. 1, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011) (the Act) included a Medicaid funding reduction. Rider 61(b)(26) of the Act instructed HHSC to consider adjusting the amount, scope, and duration of Medicaid services as one way to achieve the reduction.

After considering the amount, duration, and scope of different Medicaid services, HHSC proposes to limit coverage for hearing aids for adults to one hearing aid if there is hearing loss in both ears. Most adults have language perception sufficient to manage with one hearing aid and to manage hearing from one ear. Accordingly, adults with hearing loss in one ear will no longer qualify for coverage of a hearing aid. The hearing aid policy for children will remain the same.

Don Mann, Health and Human Services Commission

19. The Texas Medicaid program currently provides adults one eye exam every 24 months and eyeglasses every 24 months, or more often under certain conditions; and provides children with one eye exam each state fiscal year and eyeglasses every 24 months, or more often under certain conditions. The 2012-13 General Appropriations Act (Article II, H.B. 1, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011) (the Act) included a Medicaid funding reduction. Rider 61(b)(26) of the Act that instructed HHSC to consider adjusting the amount, scope, and duration of Medicaid services as one way to achieve the reduction.

After considering the amount, duration, and scope of different Medicaid services, HHSC proposes to limit coverage for eye exams and eyeglasses to once every three years instead of once every two years for adults, and once every three years instead of annually for children. New eyeglasses and eye exams will continue to be allowed sooner if there is a significant change in visual acuity. Children will still be able to receive eyeglasses earlier if medical necessity is established. Additionally, HHSC proposes to add axis changes as a condition that will allow clients to receive vision services more frequently than the limitations allow.

NCTCOG staff recently completed the Final Report for the Cotton Belt iFi Project. The Final Report is available to all RTC members and corridor stakeholders at www.nctcog.org/ifi.

 Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10
Presenter: Christie Gotti, NCTCOG
Item Summary: Staff will provide an update on the latest developments regarding Proposition 12 funds awarded to the region for preliminary engineering and right-of-way acquisition efforts. Staff will seek RTC approval of the proposed changes for Proposition 12 funding as a result of new information from the State.
Background: Lists of projects proposed for Proposition 12 funding were approved by RTC on September 23, 2011. Through recent developments, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and staff have learned from State elected officials that they prefer not to place Proposition 12 preliminary engineering and right-of-way acquisition funds on public-private partnerships. This new request jeopardizes plans for using Proposition 12 funding for engineering and right-of-way acquisition on SH 183. Staff has coordinated with TxDOT to identify a small set of projects for which funding can be exchanged. Please note that the exchange will not result in any projects losing funding. Information regarding the exchange of funds is attached in Reference Item 5.1. Proposition 12 public meeting minutes are provided in Electronic Item 5.2.

Item Summary: Staff will provide an update on federal and State legislative issues. On the federal side, surface transportation legislation has finally started to move in both the House and Senate. It is unclear what the end result will be given the numerous differences in the two bills. On the Texas side, interim committee charges have been released in both the House and the Senate. Finally, an update on the Transit Workshop and the transportation funding initiative subcommittees will be given.
Background: The US Congress has extended the Safe, accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) through March 2012. Both chambers of Congress have proposed their plans for a long-term surface transportation bill. Reference Item 6 provides an initial summary of the federal legislation.

1:50 2:00 7. Quarterly East/West Equity, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and Texas Department of Transportation/Regional Transportation Council Commitments Update
Action Possible Action  Information Minutes: 10
Presenter: Christie Gotti, NCTCOG
Item Summary: Staff will provide a report on the status of TxDOT non-formula commitments with regard to east/west equity in the region, updates on projects selected with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds, and TxDOT commitments assumed by RTC.
Background: RTC has taken a position to monitor the equity allocation of TxDOT non-formula commitments. RTC appreciates the receipt of additional money to help the region build transportation projects and will monitor and reallocate funds when available to maintain similar equity levels established by RTC during its own selection process. Electronic Item 7.1 inventories TxDOT non-formula commitments and the impact of these commitments to date. Since enactment in February 2009, over $890 million in ARRA projects were funded in the region. Staff committed to provide regular updates on the status of these projects. To this end, Electronic Item 7.2 provides an update on projects funded through ARRA. Electronic Item 7.3 provides a report of the TxDOT commitments previously assumed by RTC, and recent projects funded by TxDOT that offset the original reductions in funding.

It is also proposed that the signs be returned to TxDOT to be used in conjunction with the next Super Bowl. Staff will request action regarding this item at the March 8, 2012, meeting.
Background: TxDOT fabricated specials signs for IH 30 for the Super Bowl.
As planned, the Super Bowl signs were removed following Super Bowl XLV. Staff plans to use the signs when the Super Bowl is held in the region again, but wishes to lease the signs for revenues that could be used for the YET Center.
