The HHSC Provider Finance Department provided the Information Letter No. 2023-44 Cost Report and 2023 and 2024 Accountability Report Training Information. CPC (Primary Home Care [PHC], Community Living Assistance and Support Services [CLASS], Direct Service Agency [DSA], CLASS Case Management Agency [CMA], STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services [HCBS] and Non-HCBS) providers will be required to submit 2023 cost reports to HHSC Provider Finance Department.
HHSC PFD is offering additional cost report trainings for Providers who need to come into compliance.
Key Details:
Preparers must attend cost report training for every program for which a cost or accountability report is submitted. If a preparer attends Cost Report Training, then the preparer is approved to prepare other reports for that program within the biennium. Preparers who have NOT completed training for a specific program’s cost or accountability report will NOT be able to submit a cost or accountability report for that program. A Cost or Accountability Report will not be accepted for any of the following programs if the preparer has not attended the required training.
