A nursing facility, home health services provider, or any other similar long term care services provider that is Medicare-certified must:
• Seek reimbursement from Medicare before billing the Texas Medicaid Program for services provided to an individual who is eligible to receive similar services under the Medicare program.
• Appeal Medicare claim denials for payment, as directed by the department.
A nursing facility, home health services provider, or any other similar long term care services provider that is Medicare-certified is not required to seek reimbursement from Medicare before billing the Texas Medicaid Program for a person who is Medicare-eligible and has been determined as not being homebound.
