Additional 2023 CPC cost report training information for LTSS STAR+PLUS providers
Background
The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Provider Finance Department (PFD) 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 the HHSC Provider Finance Department.
HHSC PFD is offering additional cost report training 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 programs if the preparer has not attended the required training.
