Update: In order to fulfill legislative requirements, the survey was updated on November 8, 2021. Providers who previously submitted this survey on or before November 8, 2021, must complete this survey again in order to complete the new questions in “Section 2 - Relief Funding Information.” All submissions received without these questions answered are now considered incomplete.
Background
The 87th Texas Legislature directed the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to report federal COVID-19 funding from specific health care institutions, and certain costs those providers have spent related to COVID-19 public health emergency. HHSC has developed a monthly report to obtain the information required by Rider 143 (2022-23 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill (S.B.) 1, 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021 (Article II, HHSC, Rider 143) and S.B. 809 (87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021).
Reporting
The initial report includes funding and cost data covering the period of January 2020 through August 2021 and is due October 1, 2021. The subsequent reports will be ongoing on a monthly basis and will cover a single month; each monthly report will be due on the 15th of the month following the end of the month (for example, the report for September 2021 data was due October 15, 2021).
HHSC is granting a “grace period” to allow providers time to come into compliance if they fail to meet any deadlines between October 1, 2021, and November 30, 2021. While the deadlines to report will not change, HHSC will not take any of the available actions against a provider as long as the provider submits all the required reports due between October 1, 2021, and November 30, 2021. The grace period ends December 1, 2021.
