The Information Letter No. 2022-58 provides information about the 2022 cost report and 2022 or 2023 accountability report training and requirements for various provider types in Texas, such as nursing facility providers and home and community-based services providers. Providers and preparers must complete the appropriate training webinar to be able to submit a cost or accountability report using the State of Texas Automated Information Reporting System (STAIRS). The cost report training is mandatory every other year when the odd-year cost report is due, and rate enhancement participants in the Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) program must attend mandatory training every two years when the odd-year accountability report is due. Providers who participate in the rate enhancement programs and terminate from the program, providers, or both who undergo a change of ownership will have to complete a 2023 accountability report. The HHSC Provider Finance Department's website provides program-specific cost report instructions, cost report training information and materials, payment rates, and weblinks for training information and registration. Providers can contact the Customer Information Center for any questions about the information provided in the letter.
