The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued an updated information letter regarding changes to the Nursing Facility Liability Insurance Rate Add-ons, effective May 1, 2022. The amendment streamlines the payment process by replacing the current certification requirements with an annual provider attestation. Nursing Facility (NF) providers must complete a liability insurance attestation during an open enrollment period between July 1 and August 1, 2022, to receive add-on rates for the upcoming rate year (September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023). Providers must submit electronic attestations annually during the prescribed open enrollment period. The attestation will require NF providers to indicate their insurance coverage and confirm that it has been purchased from an authorized entity. Providers must use the HHSC PFD Open Enrollment Portal to request Liability Insurance Rate Add-ons. For questions, providers can contact HHSC PFD at PFD-LTSS@hhs.texas.gov.
