The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued a reminder to Home and Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSAs) regarding the requirement to request an initial survey within six months of receiving an initial license. The agency must admit the minimum number of clients and provide services based on the categories of service on the initial license. They must also submit a written request for an initial licensure survey using HHSC Form 2020. Upon the surveyor's arrival, the agency must have a list of clients, client records, agency policies, and personnel records ready for review. Failure to request a timely initial survey may result in enforcement action, including license revocation or denial of license renewal. HCSSAs should ensure they comply with these requirements to avoid potential penalties.
