Reporting for Collection of Information on Hospital Costs Related to Immigration Status

Last updated on 8/28/2024

In accordance with Executive Order GA-46 issued by Governor Greg Abbott on August 8, 2024, hospital providers must ask each patient during the hospital intake process whether the patient is (1) a citizen or an alien lawfully present in the United States, or (2) an alien not lawfully present in the United States. Hospital providers must report to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) quarterly the number of inpatient discharges of and emergency visits by all patients and patients who are (1) a citizen or an alien lawfully present in the United States, and (2) an alien not lawfully present in the United States. Hospital providers must also report to HHSC quarterly the costs of care for patients who are not lawfully present in the United States. Hospitals are expected to begin collecting the information by November 1, 2024, and begin reporting to HHSC on March 1, 2025.

When collecting information about a patient’s immigration status, hospital providers must provide notification that, as required by federal law, the response will not affect patient care.

On December 1, 2024, the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will include this information in the Texas Medicaid Provider Procedures Manual (TMPPM), Volume 1: Provider Enrollment and Responsibilities.

Note: Instructions about how to submit the required information is available on the Provider Finance Department HHS website: https://pfd.hhs.texas.gov/hospitals-clinic-services. For questions about reporting, email providerfinancedept@hhs.texas.gov.
