The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued a revised letter (PL 20-37) outlining the reporting responsibilities for long-term care providers related to COVID-19 cases and deaths. The letter consolidates reporting requirements and provides guidance on completing the Provider Investigation Report (Form 3613-A). All provider types must report COVID-19 positive cases and deaths, with specific responsibilities outlined for nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and intermediate care facilities. The letter also details the process for reporting COVID-19 vaccine data and submitting test result data to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) and local health departments. Providers must follow the steps and deadlines outlined in the letter to ensure compliance with reporting requirements.
