The procedure codes noted with an asterisk in the table above will require a Texas Medicaid rate hearing.

New benefits that are adopted by Texas Medicaid must complete the rate hearing process to receive public comment on proposed Texas Medicaid reimbursement rates. The CSHCN Services Program reviews the adopted Texas Medicaid rates to determine whether the rates are fiscally feasible for the CSHCN Services Program.

Note: Procedure codes may receive a temporary or interim rate prior to being taken to a rate hearing. Claims will be denied until a rate or interim rate is applied. Any affected claims may be reprocessed according to the CMS effective date.

After the rate hearing, expenditures must be approved before the rates are adopted by the CSHCN Services Program. Providers will be notified in a future banner message or notification if a proposed reimbursement rate will change or if a procedure code will not be reimbursed because the expenditures are not approved.

Providers may also refer to the following website for details related to rate hearings: https://pfd.hhs.texas.gov/rate-packets
