The Information Letter No. 2021-36 notifies healthcare providers, including nursing homes, of important claims processing cutoff dates for Fiscal Year 2021. The Miscellaneous Fee-for-Service (FFS) Claims Cutoff is noon on August 12, 2021, and the Fiscal Year 2021 FFS Claims Processing Cutoff is noon on August 24, 2021. Claims for services performed during fiscal year 2019 (September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019) received after the August 12 cutoff will become miscellaneous claims and cannot be paid through the standard Claims Management System payment process. The letter also provides information on payment schedules for claims received during the closeout period. Healthcare facilities, including nursing homes, should ensure they submit claims in a timely manner to avoid processing delays and should continue to enter FFS claims as usual throughout the closeout period. Providers with questions may contact HHSC Provider Claims Services.
