For the rate year beginning January 1, 2001, and at least every three years thereafter HHSC will assess the viability of the non-state-operated modeled rates using the following process:
- (1) HHSC will seek to obtain a consultant to conduct an independent, detailed analysis of cost and operational information for a sample of ICF/MR service providers throughout the state in accordance with Texas Government Code, Chapter 2254.
- (2) Site visits will be made to each of the sample providers to collect cost data and discuss operations.
- (3) An advisory panel consisting of service providers, advocates, and HHSC and TDMHMR personnel will analyze available information regarding historical cost and operational data and level-of-need assessment. HHSC will use the analysis to adjust the rates or rebase model-based rates.
- (4) HHSC will make adjustments to rate factors if required, based on the results of the analysis of the sample of cost and operational information.
- (5) Revised rates, as well as the rationale supporting the rates, will be approved by HHSC.
