HHSC requires Providers who deliver eligible HCBS services with service dates between March 1, 2022, and August 31, 2022, to submit an attestation, an initial report, and a final report. The attestation, initial, and final reports are due 90 calendar days after the end of the federally-declared COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), which expired on May 11, 2023. The deadline for the attestation and reports has been extended to Wednesday, August 9, 2023.
The Attestation, Initial Report, and Final Report can be accessed on the HHSC Provider Finance Department Long-term Services and Supports website here. In addition, the Financial Management Services Agencies (FMSA) Templates, a FAQ document, a compliance list, and other information can be viewed on the same website.
