2025 Awarded Levels for the Attendant Compensation and Direct Care Staff Enhancement Programs

Last updated on

HHSC announces the publication of the awarded levels for Long-term Services and Supports (LTSS) providers participating in the Attendant Compensation Rate Enhancement and Direct Care Staff Enhancement programs for fiscal year (FY) 2025 for the programs listed below.

Attendant Compensation Rate Enhancement Program:

  • Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) – Direct Service Agency (DSA)
  • Day Activity and Health Services (DAHS)
  • Deaf-Blind with Multiple Disabilities Waiver (DBMD)
  • Home and Community-based Services (HCS)
  • Primary Home Care (PHC)
  • Residential Care (RC)
  • Texas Home Living (TxHmL)
  • Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability or Related Conditions (ICF/IID)

Direct Care Staff Enhancement Program:

  • Nursing Facilities (NF)

If a provider’s FY2025 awarded enhancement level is different from their FY2024 awarded enhancement level, a retroactive rate adjustment for paid claims with dates of service beginning September 1, 2024, will automatically occur within the claims management system.

Providers who participate in these optional programs must be contracted with HHSC. Open enrollment occurred in July 2024, as per the Texas Administrative Code. Providers who requested to enroll or increase their enhancement participation level were awarded enhancements within funding levels. Participating providers in FY2024 that did not submit an Enrollment Contract Amendment and did not have an imposed limitation will maintain the previous year’s awarded enrollment level.

To view the FY2025 enrollment awarded levels list, please visit the PFD website.

The HHSC Provider Finance Department is continuously processing new providers, terminations, and changes of ownership. We will continue to update the requests monthly.

If you have questions regarding your FY2024 enrollment status, please email the LTSS Center for Information and Training (CIT) or call (737) 867-7817.
