HHSC Publishes Provider Letter 2026-06 New Process for Submitting Medicaid Occupancy Reports (Replaces Provider Letter 15-06)

Last updated on

HHSC Long-term Care Regulation has published Provider Letter (PL) 2026-06 New Process for Submitting Medicaid Occupancy Reports (Replaces Provider Letter 15-06).

This PL is to inform providers of licensed, Medicaid certified nursing facilities of a change in the process for submitting Medicaid occupancy reports to
the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). 

Effective June 1, 2026, all Medicaid occupancy reports must be submitted through the Texas Unified License Information Portal (TULIP), a web-based licensure system designed specifically for licensed long-term care providers. Occupancy reports will be located in the “Reporting” section of the Provider Portal home page.
