HHSC Publishes NF and ALF Guidance on Registration with the Emergency Assistance Registry (PL 2024-02 [Replaces PL 20-07])

Last updated on

HHSC Long-term Care Regulation has published Provider Letter 2024-02 (Replaces PL 20-07) Registration with the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry for Assisted Living Facility (ALF) providers and Nursing Facility (NF) providers.

The PL informs providers that they need to register with the Texas Information Referral Network by calling 211 or by emailing HHSC Form 1085 to stear@tdem.texas.gov. The form is used to add facilities to the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR).

Once the facility has been added to the database by initially emailing the form, providers can go to https://stear.tdem.texas.gov to create an online account for the facility and re-register annually. 

Read the details of PL 2024-02.
