IL20-16 COVID-19 Guidance for Community Attendant Services, Family Care and Primary Home Care Providers

This information letter (IL) revises IL 20-16, COVID-19 guidance for Community Attendant Services, Family Care, and Primary Home Care providers. The revised IL is to provide updated guidance regarding required signatures.

Community Attendant Services (CAS), Family Care (FC), and Primary Home Care (PHC) providers are required to comply with state and federal laws, rules, regulations, and information letters regarding CAS, FC, and PHC services. The guidance in this information letter, including any suspensions from procedures currently required by rules, regulations, or policies, is effective as of March 16, 2020 and will continue until HHSC notifies providers otherwise.

In response to COVID-19, HHSC will allow CAS, FC, and PHC providers to suspend face-to-face supervisory visits and instead conduct interdisciplinary team (IDT) meetings by telephone or by videoconference.
