HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Care ERVICES/Long-Term 77 th Texas Legislature Prohibits the inclusion of coverage for punitive damages assessed against a physician or health care provider in a policy of medical liability insurance issued to or renewed for a physician or health care provider by JUA. Provides that if the incurred losses and expenses from physicians or any single category of health care provider result in a net underwriting loss and exceed 25 percent of the stabilization reserve fund as valued for that year, then the commissioner is authorized to direct the initiation or continuation of the stabilization reserve fund until the fund recovers its losses. Expediting Licensing for Nursing Facility Operators - S.B. 772 by Senators Harris and Zaffirini House Sponsor: Representative Naishtat The Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) is responsible for reviewing and approving an application to operate a nursing home in Texas. Until the application is approved, the facility cannot receive Medicaid and Medicare funding. There is currently no mechanism in place for DHS to gather and use information on good nursing home operators to enable those operators to expeditiously gain approval for a license to operate another existing institution. Requires DHS to keep a current list of license holders that have excellent operating records and provides for the expedited approval of a change of ownership license to current license holders that have compiled excellent operating records according to information available to DHS. Requires DHS to establish a procedure under which a listed license holder may be granted expedited approval in obtaining a change of ownership license to operate another existing institution in this state. Specifies that any requirement relating to inspections or an accreditation review applies only to institutions operated by the license holder at the time the application is made for the change of ownership license. Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) - S.B. 908 by Senator Shapleigh, et al. House Sponsors: Representatives Isett and Chavez The Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a nationwide alternative to nursing home care for the elderly. PACE programs cost the state less than traditional Medicaid payments for those who are eligible for nursing home placement. Currently, the only PACE program site in Texas is Bienvivir in El Paso. Requires the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to develop and implement PACE statewide. Senate Research Center 132
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Care ERVICES/Long-Term 77 th Texas Legislature Requires HHSC, with the cooperation of the Texas Department on Aging and area agencies on aging, to promote PACE program sites. HHSC is required to adopt policies and procedures ensuring that caseworkers and other appropriate HHSC staff discuss the benefits of participating in the PACE program with long-term care clients.
