HHSC Publishes HCBS Settings Rule Statewide Transition Plan Draft Addendum

Last updated on

The Texas Statewide Transition Plan (STP) describing the state's planned activities for achieving compliance with the federal Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Settings Rule was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 20, 2023. CMS allowed states additional time to complete outstanding Medicaid HCBS provider assessments, remediation, and validation through a corrective action plan (CAP) process. The Texas CAP, approved by CMS on October 6, 2023, allows the State additional time to complete onsite assessments, and publish an addendum to the STP to provide compliance counts for HCBS settings.

HHSC announces the publication of the draft STP addendum for public comment. Comments are due by July 14, 2025. See the addendum here.
