Important Information for Community Services Waiver Providers
Information posted October 21, 2009: Effective October 22, 2009 Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will implement a correction to the issue with the Resource Utilization Group (RUG) value on some Medical Necessity and Level of Care (MN and LOC) assessments (see posting on October 16, 2009). Click the title for more information.

Providers will no longer need to click on all tabs of the assessment for the RUG to calculate correctly.  If there are fields on the assessment that do not require a value, providers may simply skip over those fields as directed in the Detailed Guide for Completing the MN and LOC Assessment.

 

No action by providers is necessary. TMHP is in the process of identifying those assessments that were impacted by an incorrect RUG value.  Once corrected by TMHP, assessments that were impacted will include a notification in the history of the assessment stating that TMHP made an update to the RUG value. A new message will be posted when this process has been completed.  For questions please contact TMHP at 1-800-626-4117, Option 1.
