Proposals to Improve Quality of Medicaid

HHSC accepts suggestions for clinical initiatives to improve the quality and efficiency of Medicaid services from the following groups as directed by Senate Bill 1542 of the 2013 Texas Legislature:

Each clinical initiative will undergo a preliminary review which will determine whether the clinical initiative warrants a full analysis based on the pre-determined criteria and available staff resources in the agency.

Proposals that warrant further analysis will be posted on this website for public comment for 30 days. HHSC staff will conduct a comprehensive analysis after the public comment period closes, and a final report will be published within six months of the proposal’s submission date.

Submitting a Proposal

Proposals may be submitted using a SB1542 paper form (PDF). Submitters are encouraged to complete the paper form and then copy the information into the online form. Paper forms may be mailed to:
