The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued a new provider letter (PL 2022-18) announcing the redrawing of regional boundaries for long-term care providers, effective August 1, 2022. The new boundaries separate former Region 7 into two new regions: Region 8 and 11. This change affects assisted living facilities, nursing facilities, and various other healthcare providers. Providers must use the new regional boundaries map to identify their location and contact the appropriate HHSC Long-term Care Regulation (LTCR) regional survey operations team. Home and Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSA) providers have specific contact information based on their physical location. Providers can find regional contact information on the HHSC website. This change aims to modify the regional boundaries in effect prior to August 1, 2022.
