The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued Information Letter No. 2022-29, announcing changes to the Nursing Facility Liability Insurance Rate Add-ons effective May 1, 2022. The amendment streamlines the payment process by replacing certification requirements with an annual provider attestation. Nursing Facility (NF) providers must complete a liability insurance attestation during an open enrollment period between July 1 and August 1, 2022, to receive add-on rates for the upcoming rate year (September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023). The electronic attestation includes information about the types of liability insurance carried, the insurer's authorization status, and compliance with Texas insurance regulations. Providers must submit documentation for renewals by June 1, 2022, and complete the attestation during the annual open enrollment period to maintain add-ons from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023. The HHSC PFD Portal will be used for the open enrollment process, and providers must follow the instructions provided in the letter to complete the attestation form.
