 HHSC Finance participated in a town hall with TASCS members and addressed some important points: 

  • Reporting is required, regardless of any funding received. 
  • Reporting is set to continue through September 2023 or until the legislature says otherwise. 
  • You cannot log in to change any previously submitted reports, but you can submit another report and mark that it is a 'correction.
  • If you are reporting for three or more centers, you can email this spreadsheet to [email protected].
  • If you are reporting for fewer than three centers, you can report in the online form and use one form for two centers; just separate the different HHSC IDs by a semicolon, as long as the funding amounts are commingled or $0.
  • Failure to submit monthly data can result in a vendor hold and a report to the Department of State Health Services or HHSC Regulatory Services and potential adverse actions on your licensure. HHSC may initiate payment holds for providers who fail to submit the required monthly reports.
  • This information, once completed and comprehensive, could be made public knowledge. In the meantime, it is being provided to the legislators per Rider 143. Accurate information is important, as it could potentially be useful for the designation of emergency funds in the future. 

The most current rules and information are available on the HHSC website.
