2023 Cost Report Training Information for LTSS Providers

Date: 06/26/24

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Provider Finance Department (PFD) provided the Information Letter No. 2023-44 Cost Report and 2023 and 2024 Accountability Report Training Information (PDF). This letter is to notify providers they are required to submit 2023 cost reports to HHSC PFD.

Preparers must attend cost report training for every program for which a cost or accountability report is submitted. If a preparer attends cost report training, then they are approved to prepare other reports for that program within the biennium. Preparers who have NOT completed training for a specific program's cost or accountability report will NOT be able to submit a cost or accountability report for that program. A cost or accountability report will not be accepted for any program if the preparer has not attended the required training.
