Reminder: Senate Bill 809/COVID-19 Monthly Reporting Requirement

Last updated on

REMINDER: Completion of the Senate Bill 809/Rider 143 Monthly Report is REQUIRED of all participating providers, regardless of whether a provider or facility has received additional federal funding during the reporting month.

The 87th Texas Legislature directed the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to report federal COVID-19 funding from specific health care institutions, and certain costs those providers have spent related to the COVID-19 public health emergency. HHSC has developed a monthly report to obtain the information required by Rider 143 (.pdf) (2022-23 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill (S.B.) 1, 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021 (Article II, HHSC, Rider 143) and S.B. 809 (.pdf) (87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021).

Monthly Reporting Required

All participating providers must complete the Senate Bill 809/Rider 143 Monthly Report every month, even if they did not receive additional federal funds during the reporting month. The reports are due no later than 5 p.m. on the 1st day of the month following each reporting period. (For example, the report for July 2022 data will be due by 5 p.m. on August 1, 2022.)

HHSC regularly updates the list of healthcare institutions who must submit reports in compliance with Senate Bill 809 or Rider 143. The list can be found here under the SB 809/Rider 143 COVID-19 Reporting Healthcare Institution List dropdown.

Note: this list is derived at a point in time (currently as of July 1, 2022) and not all-inclusive as providers may enroll or change at various times. The list will be updated every Friday by close of business. Any provider that is identified as a “Health Care Institution” as defined in Section 74.001 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code is required to complete the reports. The list has been updated to align with licensing agencies.
