Section 554.2144 - Procedures Following Termination of the Provider Agreement

Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) The Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) may continue payments for no more than 30 days from the date DHS cancels a facility's provider agreement if DHS determines that:

(1) reasonable efforts are being made to transfer the residents to another facility, to community care, or to other alternate care; and

(2) additional time is needed to effect an orderly transfer of the residents.

(b) When a facility's provider agreement is terminated by DHS, the department will not enter into another provider agreement with the facility until 30 days have expired. If the facility reapplies for a provider agreement, DHS conducts an on-site visit to determine if the facility is complying with Medicaid requirements. If the facility is complying with Medicaid requirements and a provider agreement with the facility is not prohibited by DHS debarment rules, DHS enters into a provider agreement with the facility. This remedy will be applied in any category which results in the termination of the provider agreement.
