TULIP Issue Fixed — CHOWs Related to QIPP

The Texas Unified Licensure Information Portal(TULIP) issue that prevented nursing facilities that already completed a Change of Ownership (CHOW) from submitting CHOW application has been fixed.

The deadline for nursing facilities to submit a CHOW about the Fiscal Year 2023 Quality Incentive Payment Program (QIPP) is Feb. 14. The incoming owner for the nursing facility must submit the CHOW application through the TULIP.

If nursing facilities continue to have issues about submitting a CHOW for QIPP, the incoming owner should:

• Email TULIP Support and copy the Long-term Care Regulation Licensing Director, Stephanie Allred.
• The subject line on the email should begin with the following, “NF CHOW related to QIPP.”
• The email should include:
  • Nursing Facility name
  • Nursing Facility — facility ID
  • Current licensed legal entity
  • Incoming legal entity to be licensed
  • TULIP issues encountered, including screenshots, if needed

The date of the email received will be used to meet the requirement to submit a CHOW application about QIPP by Feb. 14.
