HHSC Reviews NF Medicaid Bed Occupancy for Deallocation

HHSC reviews Medicaid bed allocation and deallocates Medicaid beds from nursing facilities (NFs) that are not utilizing them at the level defined in 26 TAC §554.2322(j)(5).

HHSC will send letters via certified mail in May to NFs whose occupancy falls below a 70% average from September 2024 through February 2025.
