Today, the Health and Human Services Commission announced that it has put up a new page on its website for Medicaid providers to comment and stay abreast of policy changes relating to Medicaid covered medical and dental treatments.
The new page states:
“HHSC continually reviews its policies to ensure they remain medically appropriate and responsive to the latest evidence. Through this website, medical practitioners, program clients, and the general public can give HHSC direct feedback regarding new medical and dental policies or changes to existing policies.”
On the page will be listed policies for comment. Providers are provided an email address to send their comments: MCDMedicalBenefitsPolicyComment@hhsc.state.tx.us
How to suggest policy changes
There is also a topic nomination form to suggest policy changes. This is a Word document which is downloaded, filled out and submitted by email to the above email address.
