GL 20-1011-A Emergency Hospital Off-Site Facilities in Response to COVID-19 (Amended)
GL 20-1011-A regarding the passage of emergency rules for hospital off-site facilities in response to COVID-19 has been posted. This amended letter explains the emergency rule allowing HHSC to temporarily waive the requirement mandating an off-site facility be licensed or open within the past 36 months to be eligible as an off-site facility. The hospital applying to use the off-site facility must provide satisfactory evidence to illustrate that such a waiver will not detrimentally affect the health or safety of patients, hospital staff, or the public.
Please read the letter at the link below and if you have questions, contact HCR_PRT@hhsc.texas.gov.
