Part 15. TEXAS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION

Chapter 355. MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT RATES

Subchapter G. TELEMEDICINE SERVICES AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES

1 TAC §355.5902

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) adopts an amendment to §355.5902, without changes to the proposed text published in the February 6, 2004, issue of the Texas Register (29 TexReg 1118).

The amendment was undertaken to change the term for clients who receive a priority service break designation from "Priority 1" to "priority," replace the term "provider agency" with "contract," and replace the terms "contracted provider" and "provider" with "provider agency," as appropriate. These changes ensure that the rule reflects the name change made by the Texas Department of Human Services for clients with a priority service designation and more accurately describes the use of contracts in reimbursement determination

HHSC received no comments regarding adoption of the amendment.

The amendment is adopted under the Government Code, §531.033, which authorizes the commissioner of HHSC to adopt rules necessary to carry out the commission's duties, and §531.021(b), which establishes HHSC as the agency responsible for adopting reasonable rules governing the determination of fees, charges, and rates for medical assistance payments under Human Resources Code, Chapter 32.

The amendment affects the Government Code, §§531.033 and 531.021(b).

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on May 10, 2004.
