For the rate year beginning January 1, 2001, and at least every three years thereafter TDMHMR will assess the viability of the non-state-operated modeled rates using the following process:
- (1) TDMHMR 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 department personnel will analyze available information regarding historical cost and operational data and level-of-need assessment. TDMHMR will use the analysis to make recommendations to the Texas MHMR Board for adjusting the rates or rebasing model-based rates.
- (4) TDMHMR will recommend 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 presented to the Texas MHMR Board for approval and implementation. Final approval of the rates will be provided by THHSC.
